Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out what I want to use to act as an interlock in the event the coolant flow is too low or non-existent. But would also like a flow rate readout of some type.
Options I've explored so far:
- Paddle style flow switch. No indication of flow. Just on/off
- Piston style flow switch. Very cheap but from what I can see may be prone to getting stuck open if there's any debri. Again, no indication of flow, just on or off
- Flow meter. Can't find a sensibly priced option that has an alarm output for low flow.
- Arduino base, linked to flow sensor. With alarm output. Most configurable option. Need to look into this further, but seems overkill for what I want
What is everyone else using?
Cheers
