Product Introduction
Liquid Flow Sensor for Liquid MeteringPLF2000 Series Description:
The PLF2000 series liquid flow sensors are designed to replace mechanical turbine flow sensors. With MEMS thermal flow chip at the core, PLF2000 offers higher accuracy and repeatability, providing linear digital output even under flow pulsation. With no moving parts, PLF2000 will not jam or suffer mechanical failures. No disassembly is required for cleaning. Additionally, since no obstacles (i.e., turbines) are introduced into the flow path, it has minimal flow resistance, allowing liquid to circulate via gravity, boilers, or low-power pumps.
Thanks to precision machining innovations, PLF2000 uses third-generation thermal flow chips. The sensor chip uses a pair of thermopiles to detect temperature gradient changes caused by mass flow, providing excellent signal-to-noise ratio and repeatability. The 'solid-state' thermal insulation structure eliminates the need for surface cavities or fragile membranes used in competing technologies. The sensor chip, along with its silicon carbide protective film, can directly contact liquids, allowing the highest level of sensitivity and the lowest cost packaging.
PLF2000 complies with NSF/ANSI 61: Drinking Water System Components - Health Effects, and is safe for use in water and beverage appliances.
PLF2000 provides both analog (voltage) and digital I2C outputs.
