Pressure Sensors for Refrigeration Systems

Due to the worldwide rising energy costs, the energy-efficient operation of refrigeration systems becomes a ‘must’ for all installers, integrators and contractors working in this field. According to estimates from third-party sources, more than 90% of the refrigeration systems worldwide are still not yet equipped with continuous control technologies.

Most of these systems have been optimised and pre-set for certain operating states and refrigeration capacity – which means that they operate outside the ‘optimum’ in all other operating states, whenever less capacity is required. This will often result in a waste of valuable energy. At a point soon, systems without any closed-loop control will no longer be acceptable within the industry.

Therefore, manufacturers and integrators of refrigeration systems are increasingly looking to utilise electronic pressure sensors to control pressure and thus the resulting temperature of the refrigerant with high precision. Our R-1 pressure sensor has been developed specifically for this use and in practice achieves substantial savings in electricity costs for the operators.

3-1 Certified Pressure Sensors

When it comes to using pressure sensors in certain applications and industries, sometimes a 3.1 material certificate becomes a ‘must-have’ requirement. At Boiswood, we are very familiar with handling such requirements and often utilise our ever-popular AXD industrial pressure sensor for applications needing 3.1 certification.

 

AXD Industrial Pressure Sensors

The model AXD pressure sensor, built with Accusense™ technology, is designed for Industrial and OEM customers who require high performance, reliability and versatility at an excellent price point. It offers exceptional ±0.25% FS accuracy for pressure ranges as low as 1 PSI up to 10,000 PSI to meet a multitude of demanding applications. The AXD features all stainless steel wetted materials including 17-4 PH SS when ordered as "AXD1" or 316L SS when ordered as "AXDH".

Flow Switches for Laser Cooling Systems

Lasers were once a spotlight for science fiction, but now they are streamlining the manufacturing industry. Projections have been showing that “Fibre Laser Cutting” is still on the rise and expected to become a key player in the Ultra Hard Material Cutting Machine market, which was originally anticipated to be a 1.8 billion dollar industry by 2024.

For more than 30 years, lasers have been challenging the stamping and punching manufacturing industry and could soon be the industry standard. And now thanks to scientific breakthroughs with Fibre Lasers, we’re seeing ultra-hard material cutting machines specifically are making waves and expanding into even more industries such as mining, defence, semiconductors, and electronics. Fibre laser technologies are known to be about 30 times quicker than electrical discharge machines and are expected to find exceptionally high preference as the pricing comes down through product development and added market competition.
