Description
The EGE Elektronik Sensors with Integrated Amplifier Productseries ST 5000 is the authoritative choice for plant operators who require a durable and easy-to-install flow monitoring solution. By housing the evaluation electronics within the sensor itself, EGE has eliminated the complexity of remote wiring and the cost of additional rail-mounted modules. Operating on the thermodynamic principle, the sensor uses a solid-state probe tip to monitor the flow velocity of the medium. A localized heat source at the tip is dissipated by the moving fluid; the integrated electronics measure this cooling rate to determine if the flow is above or below the user-defined switching threshold. Because the ST 5000 has no moving parts (no paddles, wheels, or turbines), it is naturally superior to mechanical switches, as it cannot jam, snap, or wear out due to sediment or particulates in the fluid.
