Hansen Technologies pressure/temperature transducer serves a variety of applications

Hansen Technologies Corporation introduces the first integrated pressure/temperature transducer model HPT717 for industrial refrigeration service. This robust transducer can be used in a variety of
applications including superheat sensing, subcooled liquid sensing, and non-condensable gas sensing.
The HPT transducer measures both temperature and pressure at the same point in the system, calculates superheat or sub-cooling, and outputs a 4-20 mA signal. The HPT transducer measures superheat or sub-cooling of refrigerant over a temperature range of -35ºF to +150ºF (-37ºC to +65ºC) with higher accuracy than other commonly available methods.

KEY FEATURES

  • Specifically designed for industrial refrigeration
  • Replaceable solid-state electronics
  • Signal output: 4-20 mA
  • Input power: 24 VDC
  • Watertight NEMA4 (IP65) enclosure
  • ¾" NPT connection
  • Accuracy: +/- 1ºF (0.7ºC) superheat/subcooling
  • Safe Working Pressure: 400 psig (27 bar)
  • Ambient Temperature Range: -20ºF to +125ºF (-30ºC to +50ºC)
  • Standard model is suitable for ammonia
  • Also available for R-22, R-134a, and many other refrigerants with the appropriate refrigerant key

APPLICATIONS

  • Measurement of superheat to control an electronic expansion valve
  • Measurement of superheat entering compressor
