Pressure Sensors
Dry Pressure Sensors
Ideal for building applications like
- Zone pressure control: Maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout a building.
- Filter monitoring: Signaling when air filters need cleaning or replacement.
- Duct/static pressure: Ensuring efficient airflow within HVAC systems.
Wet Pressure Sensors
Designed for liquid applications like
- Water pressure monitoring: Tracking water flow and pressure in pipes.
- Process control: Managing pressure in industrial processes.
- Hydronic system monitoring: Supervising pressure levels in hydronic heating and cooling systems.

HVAC pressure sensors play a vital role in maintaining a comfortable and efficient climate control system within a building. Here’s a breakdown of their importance
Comfort and Climate Control:
- Accurate Temperature Regulation:Pressure sensors help ensure the HVAC system is working effectively by monitoring refrigerant pressure in cooling systems and gas pressure in heating systems. This allows the system to adjust airflow, compressor operation, and other components to maintain the desired temperature you set on the thermostat.
- Improved Air Quality:By monitoring pressure in ventilation systems, sensors can detect clogged filters or inadequate airflow. This helps maintain good indoor air quality and prevent stale air buildup.
Efficiency and System Protection:
- Optimized Performance:Pressure sensors provide valuable data that allows the HVAC system to operate efficiently. They can detect leaks, low refrigerant levels, or other issues that could lead to wasted energy.
- Prevents System Damage:By identifying potential problems early on, pressure sensors help prevent costly breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your HVAC system.
- Safety Features:Certain pressure sensors might be linked to safety features. For example, they can trigger automatic shutoff in case of excessive pressure buildup or refrigerant leaks (depending on the system).
Additional Benefits:
- Remote Monitoring:In some cases, pressure sensors can be integrated with building automation systems, allowing for remote monitoring and adjustments to the HVAC system.
- Early Warning System:Pressure sensors can act as an early warning system for potential problems, allowing for preventative maintenance and avoiding major system failures.
