76 PRODUCTS Stay cool in flow monitoring Elegance and space interweaved Nowadays, almost all air-conditioning, conveying, or exhausting systems need monitoring of gas flow. Gas flow monitors are required to have high reliability and minimal pressure loss. Kobold, represented locally by Instrotech, has on offer to all users an optimal solution with the flow monitor of the KAL-L series. The KAL-L works according to the calorimetric principle. The sensor is heated up to a few degrees above the medium temperature. It features a measuring range of 1–20m/s air, accuracy of about 10% of the reading, Pmax of 8 bar, tmax of 120°C, relay-output, no moving parts, and negligible pressure loss.

The company has sold more than 60 million concealed cisterns worldwide. The ‘disappearance’ of pipes behind a wall sparked a paradigm shift in the bathroom — a space where function and design intertwines. The concealed cistern provides more room by saving up to 200mm of space in the bathroom, leaving the walls to be used in more creative and functional ways. These cisterns create an elegant and spacious feeling, and they are hygienic since cleaning is unobstructed. Adding an innovative Geberit Rimfree® toilet is even more hygienic and adds to the ease of cleaning. For more information, contact +27 (0) 861 FLUSH 1. Mechanical differential pressure measurement Kobold, represented locally by Instrotech, offers a stainless steel diaphragm differential pressure switch, type SCH-28, which works exceptionally well in harsh industrial environments where dust and sludge are abundant. In these robust and wear-free devices, pressure changes between two pressure chambers are transferred via a metal diaphragm to a self-centering pivot. Stainless steel bellows and PTFE seals ensure perfect sealing. Reliable functionality and a high level of resistance to various aggressive mediums are achieved through tried and tested mechanical system made of top-quality stainless steel. Both-side static pressure levels of up to 25 bar and process temperatures of up to 100°C can easily be tolerated. For more information, contact +27 (0) 10 595 1831.
