Specification

Product Overview

The NOIKE-AH Digital Intelligent Flow & Temperature Sensor NK210 is an intelligent flow monitoring device that combines flow detection and temperature measurement in one compact instrument. Based on thermal dispersion technology, it accurately monitors the flow of water, oil, and gases while simultaneously displaying and transmitting temperature data.

Featuring a 0.96-inch full-color display, adjustable switching points, and multiple output options, this flow switch is an ideal replacement for traditional thermal flow switches. With no moving parts, it delivers maintenance-free operation, minimal pressure loss, and reliable long-term performance in industrial automation systems.

Working Principle

The Intelligent Flow & Temperature Sensor NK210 operates using the thermal dispersion principle.

Inside the sealed probe are two precision resistors:

  • Heated sensing resistor
  • Reference resistor

When there is no fluid movement, the temperature difference between the two resistors remains constant. As the medium flows past the probe, heat is carried away from the heated resistor, changing its resistance value.

The electronics continuously compare the temperature difference between the two resistors to calculate the flow rate. When the measured flow reaches the preset switching point, the device outputs the corresponding control signal.

At the same time, the integrated temperature sensor continuously measures the process temperature for local display and remote transmission.
