Improve engine performance and reliability with this DCT531 RS485 pressure sensor. Accurate oil pressure monitoring, easy integration into control systems, and ideal for diesel generators, gas turbines, and reciprocating engines.
The DCT 531‘s absolute pressure measurement range of 0 to 75 bar covers the typical operating pressures found in most power generation engines. This ensures accurate and reliable pressure readings, even under extreme conditions. The sensor’s high accuracy of 0.35% FSO (IEC 60770) provides precise measurements, allowing for early detection of potential issues and proactive maintenance scheduling.
The M12x1 (5-pin) metal connector provides a durable and reliable electrical connection, while the IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress. This makes the DCT 531 suitable for use in harsh environments, where exposure to moisture and contaminants is a concern. The sensor’s wide operating temperature range of -25 to +85°C ensures reliable performance in both cold and hot climates.
OEMs can utilize the DCT 531 in various power generation applications, including:
- Diesel generators: Monitoring engine oil pressure in diesel generators used for backup power or primary power generation.
- Gas turbines: Measuring oil pressure in gas turbines used for power generation in combined cycle plants or industrial facilities.
- Reciprocating engines: Monitoring oil pressure in large reciprocating engines used in power plants or marine applications.
By integrating the DCT 531 into their power generation equipment, OEMs can provide their customers with reliable and efficient engines that meet the highest performance and safety standards. The sensor’s accurate pressure measurements and robust design contribute to reduced maintenance costs, increased uptime, and improved overall engine performance.
