Vapor Quality Sensor - ATEX

Category: HBX-ST for DX and Overfeed Systems

With a vapor quality sensor integrated into a standard strainer house you are ensured safe functionality of the sensor and easy installation. The butt-welded connection makes it easy to weld with same size of piping.

Please be aware that the flow direction of the vapor quality sensor is opposite of the flow direction when used as a strainer. If installed with wrong flow direction functionality will NOT be correct.

Besides the benefit of easy installation this solution makes it easy to dismantle the lid with the sensor conductor and clean it if necessary.

The sensor integrated into standard strainer housing is available in both carbon steel DN20 to DN300 and stainless steel DN20 to DN65. Ask for availability if size outside of this range is requested.

Intrinsically Safe design:

Intrinsically Safe (IS) sensors are designed and wired to work on such a low current and voltage that it cannot possibly ignite flammable material. By limiting the energy available within the defined hazardous area, electrical equipment can operate safely even amid hazardous mixtures of gasses.

Product features

Measures the volumetric concentration of gas in a gas/liquid mixture
Balanced evaporator control to achieve semi-flooded operation with high heat transfer
Can be used to optimize and control both DX systems and overfeed systems
Instant measurement and analog output
ATEX / IECEx: Ex ia  IIC T1…T6 Ga (Ta = -40°C to +70°C)

Applications

Flooded system:

Optimum efficiency at all loads is obtain by measuring the Vapor Quality in the outlet of the evaporator and use the signal to change the height of the driving head as shown, lower level will minimize the liquid amount  in the evaporator and secure balanced and dynamic evaporation  during part load and thus optimum heat transfer.

The HBX-OVC-ST Vapor Quality control signal (cable out, 4-20mA) is connected to DI 3 (pin 3) on the HBSLC liquid level sensor and used to change the desired set value for the liquid level in the recirculation vessel/separator.
