The DTK series pelton wheel flow sensor was designed for the high volume OEM market. This compact pelton wheel design requires no inlet or outlet straight piping runs, allowing the device to be installed in locations where space is at a premium. The DTK employs a very simple design. A nozzle built into the inlet fitting directs flow into an impeller with imbedded permanent magnets. Impeller rotation is detected by a Hall effect sensor as liquid flow causes the paddle to rotate. The sensor generates a pulse each time a magnet passes. The pulse frequency is directly proportional to flowrate. The pelton wheel design provides a very repeatable and linear output. The DTK is available with a stainless steel body allowing it to be used with a wide variety of aggressive liquids. The simple reliable design of the KOBOLD DTK series makes it an economical choice for OEM applications.
