Honeywell has expanded its line of pressure monitoring sensors which are designed to minimise the total cost of pressure management for HVAC and refrigeration systems.
Honeywell’s PX3 series heavy duty pressure transducers convert pressure into an analogue electrical signal. It has brass housing and can support multiple configurations to help end-users minimise implementation and production costs.
The company's sensing and IoT business president, Graham Robinson, said building owners are facing more pressure to optimise efficiency for HVAC and refrigeration systems.
“Our new line of PX3 pressure transducers feature low-current consumption to help reduce system energy costs, while also enhancing product life when used in battery-driven systems,” he said.
The new line of pressure transducers are compatible with many next-generation, low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants, including Honeywell’s Solstice N40.
The new line expands the sensors’ pressure range from 1 bar to 50 bar (15 psi to 700 psi). In addition the PX3 series also offers freeze-thaw resistance to frost, which is commonly found in refrigeration systems.
It has high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) radiated immunity to operate consistently in the presence of wireless signals, radio frequency communication and electrical devices. A durable design with a high surge immunity at ±1000V line to ground per IEC 61000-4-5, makes it a good tolerance to shock and vibration. Moreover, it can operate in a wide range of temperatures.
