    FAQ

    A digital water flow switch is a control device that integrates flow detection and real-time display functions, used to monitor changes in liquid flow within pipelines. When flow reaches a preset value, the switch outputs a control signal to activate functions such as equipment start-up, shutdown, or alarm triggering. Its digital display provides real-time readings of current flow rates or status information, enabling users to intuitively observe system operation.

    Digital water flow switches typically detect water flow changes through internal flow sensing elements (such as turbines, Hall sensors, or magnetic assemblies). As liquid passes through the sensor, these internal components generate corresponding signals that are converted into electrical signals. These signals are processed by the control circuit and displayed on the digital screen. Simultaneously, the system compares this signal against a preset flow value. When the flow exceeds or falls below the threshold, it outputs a switch signal to control related equipment.

    Digital water flow switches are suitable for various liquid flow monitoring and control scenarios, such as industrial cooling water circulation systems, central air conditioning systems, boiler equipment, water heaters, water purification equipment, and agricultural irrigation systems.
