Temperature
compensation element
A heated thermistor is installed in the passage, and fluid absorbs heat from
the thermistor as it is introduced to the passage. The thermistor's resistance
value increases as it loses heat. Since the resistance value increase ratio
has a uniform relationship to the fluid velocity, the fluid velocity can be
detected by measuring the resistance value. To further compensate the fluid
and ambient temperature, the temperature sensor is also built into the switch
to allow stable measurement within the operating temperature range.

Detection principle of digital flow switch for water
When an elongated object (vortex generator) is placed in the flow,
reciprocal vortexes are generated on the downstream side. These vortexes
are stable under certain conditions, and their frequency is proportional to
the flow velocity, resulting the following formula.
f: Frequency of vortex v: Flow velocity k: Proportional constant
(determined by the vortex generator's dimensions and shape).
Therefore, the flow rate can be measured by detecting this frequency.
