Flow Switch, Low Flow, Safety Shower and Eye Wash Station Service
The Delta Controls Model 623 dual stage flow switch that actuates at low-flow rates yet does not produce unacceptably high pressure drops at 50 times the actuation rate. The 623 consists of two sections: a flow sensing target and a pressure operated flow bypass valve.
As the flow rate begins to increase from zero, the fluid flows only through a restriction nozzle and impinges against a target, which rotates at the specified flow rate. A switch is magnetically coupled to the target and actuates when the rotation occurs. The switch output is used for alarm or control. The flow valve opens when the flow rate exceeds the actuation rate which allows the additional fluid flow to bypass the restriction nozzle. The pressure drop is thus limited to a low value at high-flow rates.
