February 9, 2007—Sensata Technologies has announced a new sensor offering that overcomes dense electromagnetic interference (EMI) barriers, enabling HVAC/R system designers to integrate reliable and accurate pressure transducers into their system designs. The company showcased its new 2CH series of case isolated pressure sensor products at this year’s AHR Expo, January 29-31 in Dallas.
The 2CH case isolated pressure transducer features EMI protection of 100v/m and a dielectric terminal-to-case strength of 1.8k Vac. With pressure ranges between 100-750 psi and a burst pressure rating of up to 4X operating pressure, this device is ideal for “electrically challenging” environments, such as inverter driven compressors and advanced HVAC/R systems. This new ceramic capacitive, hermetic sensor is available in a variety of pressure ports and electrical fittings.
The 2CH sensor can be used across a wide range of refrigerants and temperatures, and it is priced to meet the industry’s design-to-cost goals, according to the company, adding that system designers can now benefit from an electrically stable, hermetic sensor designed specifically for use in HVAC and refrigeration appliances.
