Save Space with Combo Sensors

Many factories use air pressure sensors and temperature sensors in the same machines. Usually, each sensor is its own separate unit. This can waste space and reduce the efficiency of the machine or container due to loss of space and capacity. Although a

miniature air pressure sensor is one alternative to larger units, there is one step further than factories can take to save space in their equipment.

New sensors include both air pressure sensors and temperature sensors in the same unit. These miniature sensors are able to take up the same amount of space as a single miniature air pressure sensor, but also detect the temperature inside a container. Right now, the sensors are designed for use with liquids and gasses, specifically for the motorsport industry, although there are many other applications for the product as well.

The advantage of a dual-system like this one is that the units take much less space than larger units or multiple units. The use of a dual temperature and air sensor also provides benefits for installation and maintenance. Rather than installing multiple units, a single install is all that is necessary to measure both indicators. When maintaining the unit, all the operator has to do is work on a single unit, which can save both time and money during the maintenance of the equipment. Less equipment also equals fewer equipment failures, which can increase the productivity and profits of a factory or any other application of the dual sensor.

If a factory is looking for a new way to maximize efficiency, reduce maintenance expenses, and save space all at the same time, then a dual air pressure and temperature sensor can provide a wide variety of benefits for liquid and gas storage and monitoring.
