Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The common name of an air flow switch.

Explanation of Solution

Flow switches are the switches that control the operation of an equipment with respect to the flow of liquid or air present in a duct or pipe. The flow switch is generally classified into two, one is liquid flow switch and another one is the air flow switch. The liquid flow switch uses paddle to sense the flow of a liquid in a pipe. The air flow switch uses sail to sense the flow of air in a duct.

Since the air flow switch uses sail to sense air flow, it is also called sail switches. Thus, the common name of an air flow switch is sail switch.
