Are Flow Switches and Pressure Switches Same?
Flow switches and pressure switches are different. The flow switch controls the water supply of the pump room and the start and stop of the fire pump by detecting the water flow, while the pressure switch determines the normal operation of the system and whether the water source is sufficient by monitoring the pipeline pressure.
Flow switches are usually suitable for flow detection of fire-fighting equipment such as fire pools, high-level water tanks, fire hydrants, sprinkler pipes, and fire extinguishing devices. Pressure switches are usually suitable for pressure monitoring of fire-fighting equipment such as water pump pipelines and sprinkler pipes.
What is the Purpose of Flow Control?
The main purpose of water flow control is to ensure the safe transportation of liquids and gases, improve work efficiency, save resources, and ensure balanced water use for each user. Specifically:
Safety guarantee: In many industrial and daily applications, fluid control technology ensures the safe transportation of liquids and gases and avoids the risk of leakage and pollution. For example, the tap water system uses fluid control technology to ensure the safety and reliability of water quality.
Improve efficiency: Through precise fluid control, the working efficiency of various equipment and systems can be improved. For example, in chemical production, fluid control technology can ensure the stability of the reaction, thereby improving the quality and output of the product.
Resource saving: Fluid control can optimize the use of fluids and reduce waste. For example, flow control in medical equipment ensures accurate delivery of drugs and avoids overdose or underdose of drugs.
Ensure balanced water use: During peak water use, by installing a control valve with flow restriction, you can avoid a sudden drop in water pressure caused by excessive local flow and ensure balanced water use for each user.
