Specification

Integrated Flow & Temperature Sensor NK210 Standard Series

The NOIKE-AH Integrated Flow & Temperature Sensor NK210 Standard Series is designed for reliable flow monitoring and control in industrial fluid systems. By setting upper or lower flow thresholds, the switch outputs signals or alarms when the flow reaches the preset limit, enabling automatic equipment start/stop and process protection.

Based on the thermal dispersion measuring principle, the NK210 features no moving parts, low pressure loss, and integrated flow and temperature monitoring. It is suitable for monitoring liquids and gases compatible with stainless steel in a wide range of industrial applications.

  • Suitable for multiple pipe diameters
  • Reverse polarity, short-circuit, and overload protection
  • Stainless steel construction with IP67 protection

Product Features

Thermal Dispersion Measuring Principle

The NK210 measures flow using thermal dispersion technology. A heated sensing resistor and an unheated reference resistor are integrated inside the sealed probe. As fluid flows past the probe, heat is carried away from the sensing resistor, causing a change in resistance. The resistance difference between the two elements is used to determine the flow velocity.

No Moving Parts

The sensor contains no mechanical moving components, helping reduce maintenance requirements while simplifying installation.

Adjustable Flow Switching

Users can configure upper or lower flow thresholds according to application requirements. The switch outputs a signal or alarm when the preset flow limit is reached.

OLED Display

A 0.96-inch OLED display provides:

  • Digital flow indication
  • Flow trend visualization
  • Switch status display

Integrated Temperature Monitoring

The NK210 supports temperature measurement together with flow monitoring and can be used for temperature alarm and remote monitoring applications.

Industrial Protection

Designed with built-in electrical protection, including:

  • Reverse polarity protection
  • Short-circuit protection
  • Overload protection

Typical Applications

The NK210 Thermal Flow Switch is suitable for:

  • Pneumatic systems
  • Hydraulic systems
  • Cooling water monitoring
  • Cutting fluid monitoring
  • Lubricating oil monitoring
  • Pump dry-run protection
  • Industrial flow monitoring systems

Working Principle

The NK210 operates using the thermal dispersion principle.

Inside the sealed probe are two resistors: one heated sensing resistor and one unheated reference resistor. During operation, the flowing medium removes heat from the heated resistor. The resulting resistance difference between the sensing and reference resistors changes with the flow velocity. The electronics process this signal to calculate the flow condition and generate the corresponding switch output.
