Micro Hydro Generator Water Flow Generator DC5V Model: water flow generator Color variant: 5V Installation: selfcontained Plumbing type: flow sensor Product overview This micro hydro generator converts water flow into a regulated DC output for small lowvoltage devices and sensors. It is a compact, selfcontained flowmounted unit designed to produce a stable twowire DC output under defined flow and pressure conditions. Available in twowire regulated DC5V and DC12V versions. This listing refers to the DC5V variant. Key benefits Provides a regulated DC output directly from water flow, eliminating the need for external power in some sensor and monitoring applications. Twowire regulated output simplifies wiring and installation in inline plumbing systems. Compact, selfcontained design integrates easily into existing flow lines and flow sensor setups. Operates across a practical flow and temperature range for many domestic and light industrial water circuits. Main functions and compatibility Output: twowire regulated DC5V (DC12V option available in other variants). Functions as a flowdriven power source for electronics, flow sensors, water level controllers, and other lowvoltage devices. Compatible with water pumps, flow meters, liquid level controllers, float switches, and other flow or level sensing equipment. Technical specifications Working pressure: 1.2 MPa Alternate listed working pressure range: 0 to 1.0 MPa Test pressure: 0.6 MPa Temperature range: 0 to 80 C Allowable maximum ambient temperature: 100 C for up to 30 minutes Storage temperature: 25 to 65 C Flow range: 3.5 to 20 L/min at pressure 0.05 to 0.2 MPa Maximum output: 6 VDC at 15 L/min Output voltage: 5 VDC at 4 L/min Output voltage starting flow: 3 +/ 0.25 VDC at 3.5 L/min Performance and installation notes Designed for inline installation as a selfcontained unit; mounting should maintain proper flow orientation and avoid air pockets. Output voltage and starting behavior depend on flow rate. Expect reduced or no output below the specified starting flow. Operate within the stated pressure and temperature limits to maintain performance and longevity. Practical applications Remote sensor power: provide a steady DC supply to flow meters, water level controllers, or monitoring electronics in locations without convenient electrical access. Small device charging or trickle power: power or charge lowconsumption devices during continuous water flow in recirculating systems, pumps, or irrigation lines. Flow monitoring integration: combine with float switches, flow sensors, or liquid level controllers to create selfpowered sensor assemblies for pools, tanks, and plumbing systems. What makes it stand out Twowire regulated output simplifies connections for sensors and lowvoltage devices. Broad flow range and defined voltage behavior allow predictable integration with common water system components. Selfcontained format reduces installation complexity compared to external generator and regulator assemblies.
