MEMSIC Inc. will be demonstrating their latest MEMS based pressure sensor at the upcoming AHR 2016 show in Orlando, Florida, which begins January 25, 2016.
This new MEMSIC sensor was designed for VAV damper control as well as HVC applications such as room pressure monitoring, fume hood controls, furnace press switches, heat recovery systems, burner control, fan control, filter monitoring and many others.
The new MEMSIC MDP200 thermal differential pressure sensor provides HVAC system developers with competitively priced sensors with high null stability, accuracy and reliability of a MEMS structure and CMOS platform backed up by over a decade of experience and technology knowhow with millions of similar devices in the market.
“By providing a very high level of stability and accuracy, MEMSIC enables HVAC system engineers and developers to reduce costs while providing greater reliability and performance to their customers,” says Ohlan Silpachi, MEMSIC Flow Sensor Product Manager. “The MDP200 is an integrated MEMS thermal differential pressure sensor that utilizes thermopile structures similar to our highly successful MEMS accelerometers that been sold into millions into consumer and automotive applications in the past decade.”
MEMSIC is one of a few companies to offers a high-tech integrated thermal MEMS flow chip in a differential pressure sensor platform. Integrating electronics into the sensor chip eliminates the presence of wire bonding (from the sensor chip to the electronics) in the flow channel. Such integration improves reliability as there are no wires to trap fuzz and dust or to be exposed to corrosion. Integration of sensors and electronics also reduces the sensor costs by reducing electronics components and packaging size.
