This first of a kind flow-captor is two sensors in one. It not only monitors the flow rate but also the temperature of the flowing medium and provides a solid-state switch if flow is lost or temperature is exceeded. The CoolGuard is solid state with no moving parts and is the ideal replacement for old-fashioned mechanical flow switches. It won't foul, stick, wear out, or be damaged by excessive flow rates. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically with no effect on the switching point. It has Normally Open "fail safe" switching logic, unlike mechanical switches that often fail indicating flow is ok when no flow exists. CoolGuard is simple to install and is factory pre-set so it requires no calibration or adjustment.

Priced right for the OEM as well as the small quantity user, the CoolGuard is the long awaited solution to low cost , solid state flow and temperature monitoring.

The flow-captor CooLGuard utilizes the weber pioneered calorimetric principle and the unique "therm-o-sense" circuitry that monitors the cooling effect and temperature of the cooling media instead of just the flow.

When the cooling power of your system goes down, the temperature goes up, or flow is lost.CooLGuard comes into action.you can depend on it!

CooLGuard is especially designed, for all types of cooling systems, as a reliable alternative to failure prone mechanical flow switches.

Evolution of the CooLGuard

Every Cooling System relies on a consistant flow of coolant to control the temperature of a process. The cooling effect of the medium is dependant upon the flow rate and the medium temperature. Most cooling schemes employ a simple mechanical flow switch to ensure that a minimum flow of coolant is occurring and a temperature monitor to alarm if the process overheats.

Typical Cooling System Problems

The problems with mechanical flow switches are their inherent moving parts, which are subject to wear and sticking. The typical vane type switch will always fail in the worst way.open, which will indicate that flow is occurring even when it is not. The mechanical flow switch also fails to take into account another important aspect of the cooling process... If the coolant temperature increases, a higher flow rate is required to maintain the same process temperature.

Accordingly, a higher "flow setpoint alarm" is required. Conversely, if the coolant temperature decreases, a lower flow rate is needed to maintain the process temperature and a lower "flow setpoint alarm" is needed. The mechanical flow switch can not adjust to this change and may not alarm in time at higher medium temperatures and may alarm too soon at lower medium temperatures. In addition, mechanical switches do not monitor the process temperature for over- temperature conditions.

Now the CooLGuard flow-captor, with its unique "therm-o-sense" circuitry, has solved both of these shortcomings. The CooLGuard continually samples the temperature of the coolant and adjusts the low flow setpoint automatically, providing a solid state switch should the coolant flow rate fall below the setpoint value.

In addition, the CooLGuard will provide an alarm output should the coolant temperature rise above acceptable levels. You have Double Protection with the CoolGuard.
