• Hot water heaters
• Chillers
• Liquid transfer systems
The Series TDFS2 Thermal Dispersion Flow Switch is a thermal ow
switch that indicates whether the ow rate is above or below a user set
ow rate. The unit incorporates two LED status indicators providing visual
switch indication. The set ow rate (setpoint) is easily eld adjustable
with included magnet and the unit has both NO and NC NPN outputs.
