Flow and Oil Level Switch for Chillers

Reynold India – Flow & Oil Level Switch for Chillers

Precision, Reliability, and Safety in Every Drop

Introduction

Industrial chillers operate in demanding environments where precision, reliability, and safety are non-negotiable. The performance of a chiller is not only determined by its cooling capacity but also by the efficiency of its safety components. Among these, flow switches and oil level switches play a vital role in ensuring the chiller operates seamlessly without risks of overheating, low lubrication, or costly downtime.

Reynold India, a trusted name in industrial cooling solutions, delivers high-quality flow switches and oil level switches tailored for industrial chillers. Designed to monitor, detect, and safeguard your equipment, these components are engineered with the same excellence that defines Reynold’s entire product line.

What is a Flow Switch in a Chiller?

A flow switch is a device that monitors the movement of liquid (typically chilled water or glycol) within the chiller system. It ensures that there is sufficient flow before the compressor starts and while it operates.

Key Functions:

Prevents compressor damage by avoiding operation under low or no-flow conditions.
Shuts down the system automatically if water circulation is interrupted.
Signals alarms for maintenance or troubleshooting.

Without a functioning flow switch, the chiller could run dry, leading to overheating, compressor failure, and expensive repairs.

What is an Oil Level Switch in a Chiller?

An oil level switch is used to monitor and maintain the correct level of lubricating oil in the compressor. Compressors depend on oil to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and protect internal components.

Key Functions:

Monitors oil levels in the compressor crankcase.
Prevents compressor damage due to oil starvation.
Triggers alarms or system shutdown if oil levels drop below the safe limit.

A sudden drop in oil can lead to bearing damage, overheating, and complete compressor failure—all of which can be avoided with a reliable oil level switch.
