At Chillventa in 2018 HB Products launched a new revolutionary HBX Vapor Quality Sensor which can optimize the evaporator control and eliminate super heat. Since Chillventa HB Products has been busy delivering Vapor Quality sensors to large players in the marked. “We have great interest in the product, and our customers are extremely satisfied and can clearly see the potential in the Vapor Quality sensor.”, Claus Munkholm, Sales Manager at HB Products, proudly explained.
HB Products has tested the Vapor Quality Sensor on a trans critical CO2 refrigeration system and compared the results with a system controlled by a conventional super heat controller and the results are clear.
“With a system controlled by a Vapor Quality sensor it is possible to raise the suction pressure with 8 K and save up to 20 % energy compared with a system with conventional super heat control”, Michael Elstrøm, Director & Technical Manager at HB Products said.
To get a third party verification of the striking results HB Products has entered into collaboration with Gent University in Belgium, who will perform several tests on the Vapor Quality sensor.
“We have chosen Ghent University as our academic partner because it is a top 100 university with excellent laboratory facilities, and because they have many years of experience in using and applying the capacitive measurement principle in their research. We have great confidence in their professional way of doing research and we are looking forward to receiving the report”, Michael Elstrøm said.
