Thermistors for HVAC Air Conditioner Freezer Application

Owing to electronic control and temperature regulation, today’s air-conditioning installations are user-friendly, reliable and energy saving. High demands are made for quality and especially long service life.

In an air conditioner, the gaseous coolant is first compressed to a high-pressure vapor. The vapor then flows into a condenser, which is cooled by a ventilator. The heated air is blown outwards. The cooling condenses the vapor, and the now fluid coolant flows into the evaporator. There the coolant expands and, through the drop in pressure, evaporates and becomes colder. The cold air blown through the evaporator is used to cool rooms. After the evaporator the gaseous coolant flows back into the compressor, and the whole cycle can start once again. NTC thermistors are used to measure the temperature of the evaporator and of the conditioned interior.

An air-conditioning installation can also serve for heating in winter. The cold air from the evaporator is blown outwards, and the warm air from the condenser is directed inwards to produce heat.

Temperature sensors in refrigerators and freezers measure temperature of cooling compartment, guard against icing in the evaporator, and support ice cube preparation , as well as detecting ambient temperature.

Dimension in the unit: mm

Application: Temperature measurement in air conditioner for regulating the evaporator temperature, and other HVAC (Heating, ventilation and air conditioning) application.

Clip on pipe NTC thermistor sensor description

The steel clip provides a dual function by holding the sensor housing rigidly in place on a straight section of copper tubing while also providing an excellent thermal connection from the copper tube to the sensor. Ideal for inlet or outlet refrigerant sensing, hot water tube, and other arc surface temperature measurement. Installation is fast and simple as the sensor assembly just snaps into place.

Clip on pipe NTC thermistor sensor Features:

Direct clip application to pipe surface. Ideal for pipe clamp mount or rounded surface temperature measurement.
Quick response and excellent thermal tracking.
Simple installation, attaches directly to pipe surfaces.
Rugged, all-metal construction.
