Pressure Sensors and Their Use in Aquatic and Underwater Applications
/by Carly ThompsonPressure sensors are essential safety and logistic equipment in a number of underwater applications. For scuba diving, a reliable depth gauge or diving watch is crucial to estimating diving depth and ensuring safe ascent and descent. Historically, many dive watches and depth gauges have been analog designs. Digital pressure sensors have several advantages over analog […]
Implementing Pressure Sensors into HVAC Systems
/by Carly ThompsonHVAC systems are vital when it comes to ensuring indoor air quality, health, and inhabitant comfort management.1 HVAC systems also have a central role in enhancing a building’s energy efficiency, as HVAC systems represent almost 50 % of the total energy consumption of buildings in the US and 20 % of all total energy consumption.2 Global […]
Electric Vehicle Cooling Systems and the Role of Pressure Sensors
/by Carly ThompsonThe rise in popularity and uptake of electric vehicles cannot simply be put into words; one has to look at the data. Research carried out by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) in 2017 determined that global annual electric vehicle sales were increasing nearly at an exponential rate.1 By the end of 2020, more […]
Why a Pressure Sensor’s Packaging Matters
/by Carly ThompsonSystem developers who require pressure sensing capabilities where the sensor will be exposed to harsh media and extended temperature should know that packaging is critical to improve the pressure sensor’s reliability. Pressure sensors are often exposed to harsh fluids, such as gas, oil, refrigerant, and other caustic solvents that can damage the sensor’s circuitry if […]
Pressure Sensor Platform for a Range of Harsh-Environments
/by Carly ThompsonA compact MEMS device with integrated signal conditioning is needed by many pressure sensor applications; however, the challenge is to find an approach that is capable of supporting the application’s volume and cost requirements including flexibility in terms of pressure range. From industrial to medical applications, after-market to OEM automotive high-volume projects, the solution is […]
An Introduction to Reflow Soldering and Soldering Methods
/by Carly ThompsonThe objective of this article is to explain the best techniques for soldering sensors manufactured by Merit Sensor using automated equipment. All profiles must be assessed and tested for best performance. Due to concerns over the safety of lead and new regulations prohibiting its use, such as the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive in […]
