"No Flow" Protection
In circulating cooling water systems for machine control or chilled fluid in beverages it is crucial that warning of "low flow" or "no flow", will safely shut down the system to prevent any damage

Water detection in fuel or oil systems
A novel liquid level sensor from Gentech solves the problem of water build-up at the bottom of fuel tanks or hydrocarbon filter housings, and prolongs plant life, especially in hydraulic machinery
Also it will successfully interface within a "burner system" for a central heating boiler, ensuring the ignition circuit will only energize when water is flowing.
Gentech FCS flow switches are individually set to operate at a flow rate matching the application.
The flow rates within the FCS series, available as standard, range from 0.6 to 4 litres per minute.
At the flow switch point a single pole single throw normally open (normally open when no flow) reed switch contact will operate, alternatively some models can have a single pole double throw switch fitted.
The FCS flow switch series will fit either vertically or horizontally in the pipe work and are connected via 3/8'' BSP or 3/8'' NPT pipe threads.
It is also suitable for applications in potable water, carbonated drinks and deionised water as well as a number of other chemicals, with body materials of Noryl and Polyphenylene.
The FCS series compliments a comprehensive flow switch family of products within the Gentech range.
The FS series has parts that are suitable for larger pipe sizes: 3/4''BSP, 15mm and 22mm, and in Noryl, Copper and Brass body materials.
