Sensata’s Resonix A2L Gas Leak Sensor Provides Superior Reliability, Extended Lifetime, and Peace of Mind

With the world preparing for the transition to A2L midly flammable refrigerants to help reduce global warming impacts from HVAC systems, air conditioning and refrigeration manufacturers have new challenges in ensuring safe operation of their products.

Gas leak detection is a key aspect of UL 60335-2-40 certification. OEMs have several options for gas sensing technologies and products for detecting A2L gas leaks. While these technologies meet may UL requirements for safety, many fall short of manufacturer requirements for lifetime, reliability, and ease of maintenance.

In addition to ensuring safe operation of a system charged with an A2L refrigerant, manufacturers are concerned with providing a solution that minimizes the need for maintenance. High temperatures, condensation, and the chemicals used to clean coils can all shorten the lifetime of sensors or affect their reliability and accuracy.

Sensata’s Resonix A2L gas leak sensors provides manufacturers of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment a solution with the in-situ lifetime and reliability they need. With best-in-class response time, they also deliver a lifetime that exceeds the typical 15-year requirement while not requiring any recalibration or zeroing. Featuring an IP54 construction, it can withstand high condensation environments and is immune to poisoning. With leading results in AHRI testing for high temperature and oil test survivability, Sensata’s Resonix line will provide manufacturers and their customers the peace of mind that comes with not needing to schedule a service call.
