Flow Switch - Code 240

Parker Conflow’s 240 is a flow switch used to make or break an electrical circuit at selected flow levels in underground mining and quarrying applications. It is a Flameproof Apparatus (FPA) offering many safety and regulatory compliance benefits.

The flow switch is based on the Code 452 Flowmeter. It works by the moving magnet coming into close proximity with an electrical reed switch, which closes its contacts in the presence of a magnet. The position of this reed switch is set to coincide with a given flow, thus closing or opening the electrical contacts at this flow level. The unit can be used for any situation where a minimum, or maximum, flow condition needs to be satisfied.

Code 240 is available in 1" size and operates at a maximum working pressure of 207 bar. It has a wide flow Switching range from 9 LPM - 90 LPM.

Markets:

• Quarrying

• Mining

Features/Benefits:

• Large flow switching range.

• Designed to monitor a minimum or maximum flow condition.

• Can be used any minimum or maximum flow level.

• Protects equipment, prolongs lifespan.

Applications:

• To prevent an electric motor on a conveyor drive running if sufficient water is not circulating through the motor cooling jacket, prevents overheating.

• To make a circuit on booster pumps.

• To break the circuit for fire fighting on conveyors.
