Kavlico Pressure Sensors are Ideal for Standby Power Applications

March 2, 2009

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) has a complete line of high accuracy pressure sensors that are well-suited for standby power applications. As a worldwide leader in diesel engine pressure sensor technology, Kavlico has an extensive list of products that can help optimize a standby power generation solution.

Whether it’s a basic application with requirements for engine oil pressure sensors or a complex application requiring an entire suite of sensors to optimize performance, fuel efficiency and emissions, Kavlico has a solution.

Typical standby power pressure measurement applications include:

• Engine oil pressure
• Fuel pressure
• Exhaust back pressure sensor
• Diesel particulate filter
• Barometric pressure

Kavlico sensors operate on 5 Vdc and provide a linear amplified output of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc proportional to pressure. The sensor packages can be specified in either stainless steel, brass or plated steel depending upon application requirements. Flexible by design, Kavlico sensors can be configured with numerous process and electrical connector options to meet installation criteria.

Kavlico sensors for standby power applications include:

• P500 – High Performance OEM Pressure Sensor
• P265 – General Purpose Pressure Sensor
• P4055/P4056 – Low Cost OEM Pressure Sensor
• P255 – General Purpose Ceramic Capacitive Pressure Sensor
