Summer heat is one of the hardest conditions to endure. Both from the standpoint of humidity and uncomfortable working conditions to being unable to feel comfortable in one’s living space. Then there’s also the added dangers of spoilage and machine breakdown caused by extreme temps.
As a result, it’s important that A/C and other cooling equipment are used to maintain appropriate temperatures at these locations. Achieving this is dependent on the conditions and are needing to be cooled and will require A/C systems that continually work hard.
The A/C is able to a cool space through the use of chemicals like refrigerant (Freon) by converting gas to liquid and back again.
Maintaining these systems in commercial and residential settings is important. Breakdown poses a cost risk in addition to adverse health risks from the heat. Ensuring that the compressor, the condenser, and the evaporator are all working properly is important.
Not to mention, Freon is expensive. Wasting large amounts can result in hefty cooling costs. To ensure its staying put, a method to measure the presence or absence of the liquid is important.
Enter the liquid level sensor.
As a manufacturer and supplier of a wide variety of fluid switches, float switches, temperature gauges, and liquid level sensors, SMD Fluid Controls can provide standard off-the-shelf products and custom sensors designed to meet your A/C systems and equipment builds.
Level Sensors in Cooling Systems
Designing innovative cooling units requires advanced technologies. A level sensor makes it possible to measure liquid levels and prevent premature breakdown and loss of comfort for consumers.
From low-level switches that warn of coolant running out, to Freon recovery switches that ensure each drop is used efficiently, the possibilities are endless for creating effective cooling solutions. This has become more so the case today especially as lighter, more advanced equipment is being introduced.
A float switch can also be used in condensate overflow pans to prevent leaks and overfills from happening or even trigger a shut-off in applications where drains become restricted.
Reduce maintenance requirements while saving on rising Freon costs – find the float switch right for your application with the help of SMD.
