Series AD/VH

Series AD/VH

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for flow switches in the Series AD and VH, suitable for liquids and gases. These devices utilize magnetic coupling for flow switching, ensuring no contact between the process fluid and the switching systems.
Specifications:
  • Applicable for clear, opaque, or turbid liquids (Series AD & VH) and gases (Series AD).
  • Flow rates for liquids: Series AD: 0.25 to 270 l/min; Series VH: 2 to 120 m3/h.
  • Accuracy: ±5% full scale for Series AD.
  • Connections: Series AD: ¼” to 2 ½” BSP/NPT; Series VH: G1/1” NPT for DN32 to DN500 pipes.
  • Materials: Series AD includes EN 1.4404 (AISI 316L), aluminum, brass; Series VH includes EN 1.4404 (AISI 316L), PTFE.
  • Temperature range: -20ºC to +100ºC (max 120ºC).
  • Pressure: PN16 for Series AD, PN25 for AISI 316L body, PN10 for PTFE body in Series VH.
Flow Switching and Indicators:
  • Magnetic coupling ensures watertight operation with no direct contact with the fluid.
  • Switch options include reed switches and inductive switches, with ATEX certification for hazardous areas.
  • Local flow indication and electronic transmitters with 4-20 mA output are available, supporting HART protocol.
Operation and Mounting:
  • Can be installed in horizontal or vertical pipes, with specific models for different flow directions.
  • Flow switching is achieved through a disk or paddle mechanism, depending on the series.
Applications:
  • Used in cooling systems, hydraulic and lubrication circuits, thermal oil circuits, gas flow control, and more.
Models and Options:
  • AD15 and ADI15 models offer various configurations with reed and inductive switches, and optional transmitters.
  • VH models are designed for specific pipe orientations and flow conditions.
Technical Data:
  • Reed switches are SPDT potential free, with specific ratings for different sizes.
  • Inductive switches and control relays are available for enhanced control.
  • Transmitter TH6 provides a 4-20 mA output with optional HART protocol.
Certifications:
  • ATEX certification for hazardous areas.
  • ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System.

Series AD Working principle Technical data A spring M keeps a disk B in zero flow rate position. When the fluid flows through the disk at a specific speed, a force is made on the disk B, moving it to an equilibrium position.  Scale range: according to flow rate chart on page 4 The distance covered by B depends on: - The force of the fluid flow F. - The relationship between areas A & B. - The force in opposition of the spring C.  Accuracy: ±5% full scale  Scales in l/h, l/min, l/s, m 3/h, %, etc.  Connections: ¼” ... 2 ½” BSP / NPT - Brass from ¼” to 2” - Aluminium from 1 ¼” to 2 ½” -...

Series AD/VH-6

Series VH Working principle A liquid flows inside a pipe fast enough to move a paddle, which at the same time moves a permanent magnet that acts over the reed switch. The magnet-reed switch system is isolated from the liquid. The flow switching point is positioned between 30° and 45° from the zero position. Applications • Hydraulic and heating-cooling circuits • Chemical, petrochemical and pulp & paper industry • Water treatment, power plants • Swimming pools & fire protection systems Models • VH35 / SS ... PTFE horizontal pipe • VH37 / SS BD vertical pipe with upwards flow, with spring...
