Due to the worldwide rising energy costs, the energy-efficient operation of refrigeration systems becomes a ‘must’ for all installers, integrators and contractors working in this field. According to estimates from third-party sources, more than 90% of the refrigeration systems worldwide are still not yet equipped with continuous control technologies.
Most of these systems have been optimised and pre-set for certain operating states and refrigeration capacity – which means that they operate outside the ‘optimum’ in all other operating states, whenever less capacity is required. This will often result in a waste of valuable energy. At a point soon, systems without any closed-loop control will no longer be acceptable within the industry.
Therefore, manufacturers and integrators of refrigeration systems are increasingly looking to utilise electronic pressure sensors to control pressure and thus the resulting temperature of the refrigerant with high precision. Our R-1 pressure sensor has been developed specifically for this use and in practice achieves substantial savings in electricity costs for the operators.
