Danfoss has introduced its DST P100 pressure sensor — a new, reliable, robust, and cost-effective pressure sensor. Backed by more than 30 years of experience with sensor technology and featuring a stainless-steel design and hermetically-sealed media interface, the sensor can withstand even the harshest application environments, making it suitable for refrigeration and air-conditioning applications.
“We are excited to offer a single solution for a wide variety of refrigeration and air-conditioning applications," says Dennis Bodewadt Carstensen, product manager with Danfoss. "With the development of the DST P100 sensor, Danfoss is able to leverage its expansive application expertise to provide the most reliable and relevant solution for our customers."
The DST P100 sensor offers premium MEMS technology at a competitive price. It’s built with a robust, welded design, eliminating the need for an internal O-ring and reducing the number of potential leak points. The hermetically-sealed design provides excellent media compatibility and makes it compliant for today’s and future refrigerants. Plus, the physical properties of its piezoresistive silicon allows for scalable performance and outstanding overpressure and burst pressure capabilities.
Self-diagnostic features available with the DST P100 sensor allow for automatic sensor failure detection, which translates into increased machine uptime and reduced troubleshooting costs. This option is made available through a new, modular electronics platform from Danfoss, of which the DST P100 sensor is the first in a family of new products to adopt. It supports best-in-class sensor performance and long-term reliability over the product’s lifetime.
Additional features and benefits of the DST P100 sensor include:
