Perfect for Extreme Temperature Ranges
Level sensors used in areas with extreme temperatures must ensure precise liquid monitoring, resist icing, and simultaneously operate with mechanical robustness, vibration resistance, and ease of maintenance. The KRIWAN INT276 ICN and INT276 ICX fulfill all these requirements.
With their specially designed construction, the ICN and ICX sensors deliver reliable performance in refrigeration and heating systems, even in frosty conditions down to -30°C. Thanks to their high resistance to icing and robust design, they are ideal for demanding applications such as refrigerant collectors and compressors, where standard solutions often fail.
In refrigeration and heating technology, the reliable monitoring of liquid levels is a key component for the safe and efficient operation of systems. This is especially true for systems using CO₂ or NH₃ as refrigerants, which present unique challenges. These refrigerants often operate at very low temperatures, increasing the likelihood of icing. Icing can block sensors, lead to faulty measurements, and subsequently disrupt critical processes or damage system components.
Additionally, these applications are frequently exposed to extreme conditions, such as heavy mechanical stress, vibrations, or fluctuating environmental conditions. These factors can quickly push standard solutions to their limits. Operators, therefore, require sensors specifically designed for such demands to ensure smooth and long-term safe operation.
KRIWAN’s level sensors EXTENDED, such as the INT276 ICN and INT276 ICX, have been specially developed to address these challenges. They provide reliable liquid monitoring under demanding conditions, particularly in refrigerant collectors and oil separators using CO₂ or NH₃ as refrigerants.
Thanks to their high resistance to icing, these sensors can reliably measure even at temperatures as low as -30°C.
Their robust design also protects them against mechanical stress and vibrations, which are common in refrigerant collectors or compressors.
With easy installation and availability in various cable lengths, the sensors can be flexibly integrated into a wide range of systems. Moreover, they are compatible with natural refrigerants such as CO₂ and NH₃, making them an ideal choice for sustainable and future-proof applications. The EXTENDED sensors ensure smooth operation, increased efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs, even under the most challenging conditions.
Advantages
KRIWAN’s level sensors EXTENDED provide a precise and reliable solution for the challenges of refrigeration and heating technology. With their combination of icing resistance, robustness, and easy integration, the level sensors EXTENDED by KRIWAN are the ideal solution for operators of refrigeration and heating systems who rely on reliable, durable, and efficient components. They ensure precise liquid monitoring and trouble-free system operation even under the harshest conditions.
While many conventional sensors fail or deliver inaccurate readings under such extreme conditions, the EXTENDED models are specifically designed to withstand these demands.
