Overview
Kayden'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 Operation
The 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

Ease of Operation
Ease 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 Systems
Our 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! The many capabilities of Kayden's Thermal Switch Product Group
provides for improved management of your resources.
