Description

The HZ21WF flow sensor utilizes a precision turbine mechanism to translate fluid velocity into a measurable electrical signal. As fluid passes through the sensor body, it spins an internal rotor, generating a pulse frequency proportional to the flow rate. This signal is conditioned internally to provide stable analog voltage or clean digital pulse outputs.

Engineered for reliability, the sensor features a robust housing capable of withstanding working pressures up to 1.2 MPa. Its electrical design includes high insulation resistance (>100 MΩ) and dielectric strength (AC500V, 50Hz), ensuring safe operation in various environments. The sensor is calibrated for a typical accuracy of 5-8% across its specified flow range.

Key Features

  • Precision turbine flow sensing with 0.1-1.5 L/min measurement range.
  • Dual-output capability: analog voltage and digital pulse signals.
  • Wide 4.5-18V DC input range compatible with 5V and 12V systems.
  • Low power consumption design, drawing ≤15mA during operation.
  • Robust construction rated for maximum working pressure of 1.2 MPa.
  • High electrical isolation with >100 MΩ insulation resistance.
  • Compact and lightweight design for versatile mounting configurations.
  • Suitable for monitoring both liquid and gas flow in controlled systems.

Applications

  • Precise flow monitoring in water dispensers, coffee machines, and beverage vending systems.
  • Liquid consumption measurement in medical diagnostic equipment and analytical instruments.
  • Coolant flow rate monitoring in compact industrial machinery and 3D printer cooling loops.
  • Residential water usage tracking for smart home automation and IoT conservation projects.
  • Process control in small-scale chemical dosing systems and laboratory setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type of the HZ21WF flow sensor?

The HZ21WF provides both analog voltage and digital pulse output options. The digital output is a square wave with a frequency proportional to the flow rate, while the analog output provides a voltage level corresponding to the instantaneous flow. You can select the appropriate interface based on your microcontroller or PLC input requirements.

What is the required wiring and power supply for this sensor?

Connect the sensor's red wire to a DC power source between 4.5V and 18V, and the black wire to ground. The yellow wire is typically the signal output (pulse or analog). Ensure your power supply can provide the ≤15mA operating current. For digital interfacing, connect the signal wire directly to a microcontroller's digital input pin.

Can this sensor be used with gases, or is it only for liquids?

While primarily designed for water and similar low-viscosity liquids, the HZ21WF's turbine mechanism can also measure clean, dry gas flows within its specified range. However, calibration will differ from liquids, and accuracy may vary. It is not recommended for corrosive or particulate-laden gases.

How do I calculate the flow rate from the sensor's digital output?

The sensor outputs a pulse frequency (Hz) proportional to flow. You must determine the sensor's K-factor (pulses per liter) through calibration. Once known, flow rate (L/min) = (pulse frequency in Hz * 60) / K-factor. The manufacturer's datasheet or a simple calibration with a known flow can provide this constant.

What is the maximum pressure this flow sensor can handle?

The HZ21WF is rated for a maximum working water pressure of 1.2 MPa (approximately 174 psi). Do not exceed this pressure, as it may damage the internal turbine mechanism or housing. Ensure all fittings are properly sealed and rated for your system's operating pressure.
