Sensors
HVAC sensors are devices that help monitor and control, temperature, airflow, and other conditions within heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and they play a major role in optimizing HVAC system performance, keeping indoor environments comfortable and safe, and reducing energy use. Whether it's an air conditioner sensor ensuring proper cooling or a heater sensor maintaining consistent heat output, sensors help HVAC quipment run smoothly and efficiently....Read more
They detect humidity, temperature, airflow, and pressure in air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, and chillers. Sensors can be integrated with some HVAC systems and building automation systems to provide smarter climate control. Sensors measure and relay real-time data to control boards. They also allow automatic changes to keep indoor temperature and airflow at optimal levels, eliminating manual intervention.
Failing sensors may cause the system to freeze, overheat, or cycle inconsistently. Rooms may feel too cold or too hot regardless of the thermostat reading. Many HVAC systems display fault codes when a sensor isn’t working properly. Issues with pressure or humidity sensors can cause the system to deliver inconsistent airflow or moisture levels.
Sensors should be included in routine maintenance. Examining sensors for signs of damage and corrosion and checking for dust or moisture build up are important tasks during the maintenance process. Performing periodic calibration checks for some sensors is vital to ensuring they are reading correctly. Smart and digital sensors will require firmware updating. Sensor testing with diagnostic tools helps confirm sensors are communicating properly with control boards.
