Liquid cooling system pressure sensor Aqua-Computer Aqua Flow 100 (MPN 53130)

The Aqua-Computer Aqua Flow 100 pressure sensor is a compact monitoring component for liquid cooling systems in desktop PCs. Designed to measure hydraulic pressure inside cooling loops, it provides continuous analog pressure feedback that helps detect leaks, blockages or pump failures. The sensor is intended for integration into radiators, reservoirs or inline tubing runs and can be used by system builders, technicians and enthusiasts to improve safety and diagnostics of liquid-cooled systems.

Advantages

The sensor offers reliable real-time pressure monitoring with a compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces. It produces stable output for integration with monitoring hardware or controllers and is compatible with common coolant circuits. Its construction supports straightforward inline or reservoir mounting, enabling fast detection of pressure deviations that indicate leaks, air locks or pump degradation. The device is engineered for continuous operation within PC cooling environments and designed to complement existing flow and temperature monitoring solutions.

Suitable for

• PC liquid cooling loops in desktops and workstations
• Integration into radiators, reservoirs or in-line tubing segments
• System diagnostics during build, maintenance or troubleshooting
• Monitoring pressure to detect leaks, blockages or pump performance issues

Key specifications

• Measurement type: hydraulic pressure monitoring for liquid cooling circuits
• Output: continuous analog/voltage signal suitable for controllers and monitoring units
• Form factor: compact inline/reservoir-compatible sensor body
• Operating environment: designed for PC coolant temperatures and continuous operation
• Installation: supports inline or reservoir mounting in typical tubing sizes

How to use

Install the pressure sensor in-line with the cooling loop or mount it to a compatible reservoir port following the cooling system manufacturer’s guidelines. Connect the sensor output to a compatible monitoring unit or controller for real-time pressure readout and logging. Calibrate or configure the monitoring device if required to match the sensor’s output range, and verify that tubing fittings are tightened to avoid introduction of leaks. After installation, monitor the pressure during startup and under load to establish baseline values for the system.

Usage recommendations

Position the sensor where pressure changes are representative of the entire loop (for example near the pump outlet or at a reservoir feed). Regularly compare pressure readings against baseline values to detect gradual changes. Use the sensor alongside flow and temperature monitoring to provide a comprehensive diagnostic picture of the cooling system.
