Function
The d.h.w. flow switch
A
in Fig. 59 is a device that gener-
ates an electrical signal when hot water is drawn.

Fig. 59
When the flow rate through the d.h.w. circuit reaches
about 2,5 litres/min’, the float 6 (Fig. 61) is drawn to-
wards the right.
The resulting magnetic field of ring 5 increases and re-
aches the flow switch sensor 1.
The sensor generates an electrical signal that switches
the boiler d.h.w operation ON.
The state of the sensor is also indicated by means of the
lamp
B
placed on the sensor body.
