HVAC sensors are essential for maintaining set conditions within indoor environments. These innovative technology pieces allow HVAC equipment to measure environmental factors and adjust accordingly based on set parameters. The HVAC sector relies upon sensors in diverse settings to facilitate varying degrees of control over airflow, temperature, and more.  

What Is a Humidity Sensor?

Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the surrounding air. Humidity sensors are devices that measure moisture and air temperature in an environment and convert the data into a corresponding electrical signal. Modern humidity sensors are highly adaptable and come in many shapes and sizes, from miniature sensors installed in cell phones, to larger, industrial-grade systems. 

What is a Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell?

Solar cells convert solar light energy into electricity, but traditional models can be inefficient in some applications and environments. Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) devices are optimized to generate power, even from ambient light energy. By affixing these cells to sensors, users can equip instrumentation, building monitoring systems, signage, structures, and more

Users of pressure and other environmental sensors enjoy a broad selection of models and manufacturers from which to choose. While detailed specifications of individual models are easy to come by, it often helps to understand more about the overall supplier. This blog post explains our approach to helping customers find the best part for their application.

ES Systems offers highly accurate capacitive pressure sensors in a variety of packages including a capsule, board level, and transmitter package.

What Are Mass Air Flow Sensors? 

Mass air flow sensors are detection devices that are used to measure mass flow rate, and they play a critical role in the function of various med

Servoflo is pleased to announce updated data sheets for the ME78X and ME79X ceramic pressure sensors from Metallux. These state-of-the-art ceramic pressure sensors have excellent accuracy and versatility for those users designing a pressure transducer orembedding a sensor in a pump, valve or other part of a pressure control system. A notable change is new designs for both the ME78X and ME79X will use an SSOP14 package rather than the previous DFN package.

Users of pressure sensors enjoy a broad selection of models and manufacturers from which to choose. While detailed specifications of individual models are easy to come by, it often helps to understand more about the overall supplier. The following blog post compares board-level pressure sensors from Servoflo and other providers of pressure sensors.

Companies across a range of different industries use mass flow sensing technologies to meet specific application requirements in a variety of applications. Here, the team at Servoflo provides a few examples of the advantages of mass flow sensors in machines and mechanisms being designed today.
