Flow sensors
Clark Solutions has announced the availability of its expanded line of high-accuracy, low-cost liquid vortex flow sensors. Both the 200 and 210 Series sensors are designed for OEMs for system flow monitoring and control. Further, they are ideal for applications like water- and water/glycol-based heat exchange systems and similar fluids with flow ranges from 0.9 to 150 liters per minute. These meters determine flows using an obstruction/bluff in the flow meter body, and monitoring alternating vortices are formed on each side of the bluff body and travel downstream.

Pressure transducer
American Sensor Technologies (AST) has released a new analog voltage output signal to be used with battery-powered systems that consumes less than 3 mA of current during operation. This output is 0.5 V to 2.5 V full-scale output, powered with 3-5 V of unregulated power, including 3.3 V lithium batteries. This excitation range allows the use of these batteries without adding a DC-to-DC converter. In addition to low current consumption, AST’s sensors can be “pulsed” on when a reading is needed, so there is no need to constantly power the sensor.
