WFS-1001-H – Efficient Water Flow Monitoring Solution for HVAC Systems

Posted on: 22/08/2025

In HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, monitoring water flow is critical to ensure optimal cooling/heating performance and to protect system components from damage.

The WFS-1001-H – a flow switch from Dwyer Instruments (USA) – is specifically designed to detect and monitor water flow in pipelines, helping the system operate safely, save energy, and extend equipment lifespan.

1. Product Overview

WFS-1001-H is a mechanical flow switch designed for water pipelines in HVAC systems. It operates on a simple principle: when water flow reaches a preset threshold, the internal switch is triggered, sending a signal to the controller or BMS.

Key design features:

  • Durable, corrosion-resistant metal housing

  • Stainless steel paddle suitable for both hot and cold water

  • Easy installation on various pipe sizes via threaded or flanged connections

2. Main Technical Specifications

  • Pipe size range: DN25 – DN200 (1” – 8”)

  • Max working pressure: 10 bar

  • Fluid temperature range: 0 – 100°C

  • Body material: Brass or corrosion-resistant alloy

  • Paddle material: SUS304 stainless steel

  • Output contact: SPDT, rated 10A / 250VAC

These specifications make the WFS-1001-H well-suited for demanding commercial and industrial HVAC systems.

3. Outstanding Advantages

More than a basic flow sensor, the WFS-1001-H delivers multiple operational benefits:

  • Continuous water flow monitoring ensures chillers/heaters operate within set parameters

  • Prevents system failures: auto shut-off in case of no flow, protecting pumps and chillers

  • High durability: pressure and temperature resistant, ideal for harsh environments

  • Easy maintenance: simple structure for quick replacement and servicing

  • Flexible integration: easily connects to BMS or alarm system

4. Applications in HVAC Systems

WFS-1001-H is widely used in:

  • Chiller and cooling systems – monitoring cooling or chilled water flow

  • Heating systems – ensuring safe operation by detecting hot water flow

  • Circulation pumps – preventing dry-run damage to pump motors

  • Industrial water supply – ensuring stable pressure and flo
