The IFM SV5200 is a flow sensor tailored for cooling and process media applications, offering accurate monitoring of water, glycol solutions, and coolants. With a rugged yet efficient design, it provides reliable operation in thermal management systems, machine tools, and industrial processes where precise flow detection is essential for protecting equipment and maintaining efficiency.

Built for demanding environments, the SV5200 supports an operating medium temperature range of -10 to 90 °C, making it suitable for both chilled water circuits and elevated process temperatures. This wide tolerance ensures that the sensor remains stable and accurate under diverse operating conditions, supporting consistent cooling performance across multiple industries.

The device is pressure-rated for a maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of 4.8 bar in line with CRN requirements, with applicability defined up to 40 °C. This specification provides a safe and reliable operating envelope for typical cooling and water-based media applications, ensuring compliance with industrial safety standards and protecting systems from overpressure risks.

From an electrical perspective, the SV5200 is designed for efficiency and reliability. It operates on a supply voltage range of 18…30 V DC, compatible with standard industrial control systems, and features low current consumption of less than 30 mA, minimising energy demand. This makes it well-suited for large-scale deployment where multiple sensors may be integrated into a single system. Additionally, the sensor offers a minimum insulation resistance of 100 MΩ at 500 V DC, ensuring robust electrical integrity and dependable long-term performance, even under stressful operating conditions.

The SV5200 is particularly suited for industries where cooling is a critical process requirement. In machine tools, it monitors coolant flows to prevent overheating and ensure tool longevity. In automotive and metalworking applications, it helps maintain stable process temperatures, reducing wear and improving safety. Its compatibility with glycol-based solutions makes it ideal for closed-loop cooling systems, where freeze protection and corrosion resistance are key considerations.

By providing continuous and accurate flow monitoring, the SV5200 supports preventive maintenance strategies and enhances system reliability. Operators can detect irregularities such as insufficient coolant supply, leaks, or blockages early, preventing costly equipment failures and reducing downtime.

In summary, the IFM SV5200 combines cooling media compatibility, precise flow detection, safe pressure compliance, and energy-efficient operation into a robust industrial sensor. Whether deployed in cooling circuits, process automation, or machine tools, it ensures reliable system protection and long-term operational efficiency.
