Kavlico Pressure Sensors are Ideal for Next Generation Modulated Furnaces

October 7, 2008

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), has developed two new, high accuracy, low-pressure sensors for pressure measurement applications in next generation modulated furnaces. The model P992 is ideally suited to measure airflow, while the P356 measures propane or natural gas flow.

The rapid escalation of energy costs over the past several years has “fueled” a new urgency to improve the efficiency of residential and commercial heating systems. Kavlico’s high precision pressure sensors provide furnace controls suppliers with a device that assists with combustion optimization parameters making the furnace efficiency jump from 65% to 95%.

P992 Low Pressure Differential Sensor

• Pressure Ranges: 0 – 2 to 0 – 10” H20
• Output: 0.25 to 4.5 Vdc linear amplified output proportional to pressure
• Ceramic MEMS sense element
• Plastic composite housing
• NO mounting position sensitivity
• RoHS compliant
• CE Mark certified and UL certified

P356 Low Pressure Differential/Gage Pressure Sensor

• Pressure Ranges: 0.5 to 0 – 5 PSI gage/differential
• Output: 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc linear amplified output proportional to pressure
• Ceramic capacitive sense element
• Brass housing

The sensors are fully temperature compensated and can be adapted to meet application-specific OEM requirements.
