Description:
HVAC and refrigeration engineers have searched for
years for a cost effective sensor capable of monitoring
the refrigerant temperature in condenser and evapora-
tor coils. In these applications, the only suitable place
to mount the sensor is on the coil return bend, which
makes sensor attachment a very difficult design problem.
In the past, a number of “thermowell” or strap-on designs
have been used but they were either difficult and time-
consuming to install or they did not accurately sense the
refrigerant temperature. The SS&C Sens-A-Coil solves
the problem by integrating a fast response thermistor
element into a plastic overmolded copper clip specially
designed to snap onto 3/8" return bends. Because the
sensor is housed in a small bulb which is attached to the
copper clips, the Sens-A-Coil maximizes sensing surface
area which enables the sensing element to quickly react
to any changes in the refrigerant temperature. And since
no tools are needed to install the Sens-A-Coil, both time
and money can be saved in production and field service
environments. The Sens-A-Coil is also well suited for
use in HVAC diagnostic equipment and tools.
This
patented
(Patent #6,814,486 B2) design from SS&C
is the solution for sensing condenser and evaporator return
bend temperatures. The Sens-A-Coil comes standard with
10ft. of AWG#22 PVC jacketed cable. Please contact the
factory for specific design or application information or
the availability of options.
