OverviewKayden's Thermal Switch Product Group contains a state-of-the-art thermal switch for virtually every liquid, gaseous and slurry application. We offer a series of industrial strength flow switches,
level switches and interface switches to meet your enterprises needs. Whether you require a flowmeter, level sensor, level switch, flow indicator or a flow sensor, we've got the product for your application.
We have the thermal flow switch and thermal level switch that can be connected to your control system for intelligent process monitoring and control. Our new in-line air flow meter offers a host of advantages for pnuematic assembly line processes.
Thermal Dispersion - Principle of OperationThe thermal dispersion (calorimetric principle) utilized in the Kayden Thermal Switch Product Group is based on two temperature sensors which are in close
contact with the process, but which exhibit good thermal insulation with respect to each other. One of the sensors is constantly heated. In a stationary (no flow) condition,
there is a constant temperature difference between the two temperature sensors.
When flow occurs, heat energy is drawn from the heated temperature sensor and the temperature difference decreases. The change is in proportion to the flow rate
of the process. This same dispersion principle applies to level & interface applications. Click here for more information on Kayden's Thermal Switch Product Line Principle of Operation.
Ease of OperationEase of operation via intuitive fingertip user interfaces, dual set points and a 4-20 mA output are a few of the Thermal switch
Product Groups' outstanding features.
Many models have dual set point relays whose outputs may be connected to external loads (i.e. motors, solenoids, etc,) or PLC inputs, while being configured for
fail-safe applications or utilize the 4-20 mA output for customized flow monitoring requirements.
The self-test and communication capabilities of microprocessor-based devices help reduce downtime and improve plant safety. Upon detection of abnormal conditions or
the need for maintenance, plant operations and maintenance personnel can be notified allowing for corrective action to be taken quickly.
On-line fault notification mechanisms immediately inform the central control system operator should a device failure occur. This allows action to be taken before
production is affected or before a hazardous or inconvenient incident occurs.
Centralized Control SystemsOur clients require products that integrate seamlessly with their modern systems. Kayden's intelligent devices offer advanced
self-diagnostics, remote monitoring and communications for integration with centralized control systems.
Communications allow management of processes and devices from a single system allowing you to make better decisions with greater confidence.
Remote connectivity lets you monitor and configure units from a central location at your main plant site. Likewise it allows sites, spread over a region or around the
world, to be managed from a central location within the enterprise. On a smaller scale, the switches may be accessed from a laptop computer.
Connectivity allows more efficient use of resources within your corporation resulting in higher efficiency and savings - truly decreasing your total cost of ownership!
