These transducers are particularly useful in applications where low-pressure differentials are critical, such as ventilation systems, air extraction systems, cleanrooms, and air scrubbers.
Applications
Low range differential pressure transducers with voltage outputs are widely used across various industries for precise pressure monitoring and control. These transducers offer a convenient and versatile solution for measuring small pressure differences in air handling systems, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. Let’s explore some common applications and the typical voltage output signals and pressure ranges employed:
Ventilation Systems
Maintaining proper airflow and air quality in ventilation ducts, ensuring adequate ventilation in buildings and industrial facilities. Monitoring pressure differences across filters to assess their condition and schedule replacements, preventing airflow restrictions and energy waste.
0-10V is a commonly used analog voltage output signal for ventilation applications. This signal provides a linear representation of the measured pressure difference, allowing for easy integration with building management systems (BMS) and control systems.
Typical pressure ranges for ventilation systems are 0-1 inWC (0-250 Pa), 0-2 inWC (0-500 Pa), and 0-5 inWC (0-1250 Pa). These low ranges ensure accurate measurement of the small pressure differentials commonly encountered in ventilation ducts and filters.
Cleanrooms
Maintaining positive pressure differentials in cleanrooms to prevent the ingress of contaminants and ensure a sterile environment for critical processes like pharmaceutical manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, and medical research. Monitoring airflow patterns and pressure gradients to optimize cleanroom performance.
0-5V or 0-10V voltage outputs are commonly used in cleanroom applications, providing high accuracy and stability for critical pressure monitoring. These signals can be easily integrated with cleanroom control systems and data acquisition systems.
Cleanrooms typically require very low pressure ranges, such as 0-0.5 inWC (0-125 Pa) or 0-1 inWC (0-250 Pa). These low ranges ensure precise measurement of the small pressure differentials required to maintain positive pressure and prevent contamination.
HVAC Systems
Measuring airflow in ducts and balancing air distribution in buildings to optimize HVAC system efficiency and occupant comfort. Monitoring pressure differences across coils, filters, and dampers to ensure proper system operation and energy efficiency.
0-10V is a widely used voltage output signal for HVAC applications, providing a linear representation of the measured pressure difference. This signal can be easily integrated with building automation systems (BAS) and HVAC control systems for precise monitoring and control.
Pressure ranges for HVAC applications can vary, but commonly used ranges include 0-1 inWC (0-250 Pa), 0-2 inWC (0-500 Pa), and 0-5 inWC (0-1250 Pa). These low ranges ensure accurate measurement of the small pressure differentials encountered in HVAC systems.
Filter Monitoring
Monitoring pressure drop across filters in various applications, including air handling units, dust collection systems, and industrial processes. Assessing filter efficiency, identifying clogging, and scheduling maintenance to ensure optimal filtration performance and prevent system downtime.
0-10V voltage outputs are commonly used for filter monitoring applications, providing a clear indication of pressure drop across the filter media. This signal can be used to trigger alarms, initiate filter replacements, and optimize filter maintenance schedules.
Pressure ranges for filter monitoring vary depending on the filter type and airflow requirements. Commonly used ranges are 0-1 inWC (0-250 Pa), 0-2 inWC (0-500 Pa), and 0-5 inWC (0-1250 Pa).
Laboratory and Research
Precise pressure measurement and control in laboratory and research settings, including flow chambers, fume hoods, and environmental control systems. Monitoring pressure differentials in experiments, ensuring accurate and reliable data acquisition.
0-5V or 0-10V voltage outputs are commonly used in laboratory and research applications, providing high accuracy and stability for critical pressure measurements. These signals can be easily integrated with data acquisition systems and laboratory equipment.
Pressure ranges for laboratory and research applications can vary depending on the specific experiment or process. Low pressure ranges, such as 0-0.5 inWC (0-125 Pa), 0-1 inWC (0-250 Pa), and 0-2 inWC (0-500 Pa), are often used for precise measurement of small pressure differentials.
