Bi-directional flow sensors available now from TTI
TTI, Inc. has introduced Omron’s new D6F-P MEMS-based D6F-P air flow sensor, suitable for flow rate monitoring and dumper control in HVAC/VAV (Variable Air Volume) applications. The D6F-P delivers uni- or bi-directional sensing with amplified output in a highly compact package. A key feature is its integrated, patent pending dust segregation system (DSS) which separates up to 99.5% (simulation test result) of dry air borne particulates from contaminated air helping to maintain performance characteristics of the sensor over its lifetime. The DSS is bi-directional, protecting against particulates whatever the direction of flow.
The The D6F-P can act as a replacement for differential pressure sensors in HVAC systems as well as medical equipment such as respirators, ventilators, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and sleep apnea monitors.
