Our Chlorine Analyzer is Flow and Pressure Independent
Halogen sensors are flow- and pressure-independent since they incorporate an integral pump to provide constant flow across the electrodes. This continuous flow allows the sensor, if properly aligned, to operate at flow rates independently from zero flow to a velocity of 4 meters per second.
This feature overcomes the flow and pressure limitations of all other amperometric sensors. It enables the sensor to be installed directly in a pipe, immersed in a tank (zero flow), and/ or in any flow condition. This design eliminates the need for any waste stream.
Unlike membrane sensors, this bare electrode sensor does not have a memory when exposed to zero chlorine for extended periods. After extended periods of zero chlorine, the sensor reacts rapidly (within one cycle), detecting an increase in chlorine.
The graph above tests three flow rates, revealing the stability of the chlorine readings – one of them is zero flow. Other sensors require a constant flow and a waste stream for accurate chlorine measurements. Over 70,000 gallons per sensor are wasted to measure chlorine.

Halogen’s unique, patented design generates a constant flow across the sensor electrodes using the magnetically coupled impeller ( no seals). A long-life brushless DC Motor drives the impeller to produce high flow across the electrodes. Since amperometric signal sensors are flow-dependent, this increases the sensitivity and the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio.
