The transmitter is available in both a standard and an EX edition. It has a measurement angle of 300°, which can be rotated infinitely.
The transmitter sends an analogue 4-20 mA signal corresponding to a rotating movement.
The transmitter is designed to withstand the environments on refrigeration compressors, including high temperatures and powerful vibrations.
Technical data: Long Stroke Sensor
The long stroke sensor is used for analogue linear measurements of industrial refrigeration compressors in connection with capacity control. The sensor is certifided according to ATEX/IECEx. It has a measurement travel of max. 50-2000 mm, and can be calibrated for a minimum measurement travel of 50-80mm. The sensor sends an analog 4-20 mA signal corresponding to max. movement. The sensor is designed for harsh environments in a refrigeration system, and it can handle vibrations and high pressure up to 100 bar.

Technical data: HBX-DX-IN / HBX-CR-IN - ATEX/IECEx Certified
HB products has developed the unique vapor quality sensor, which is the only sensor able to directly measure the liquid content of liquid in the evaporator output. The sensor works both in pump circulated and DX systems and can optimize the efficiency and capacity to a new level.
Evaporator control
The optimal evaporator is not filled with liquid refrigerant like you often have in pump circulated refrigerant systems with circulation ratios above 1.5. The optimal evaporator is not dry like a lot of superheat-controlled evaporators.
By measuring the liquid content in the evaporator output and using this measurement to control the liquid feed.
Most refrigeration systems operate most of the time in part load and especially during part load the efficiency is typically rather poor and can be optimized significantly. Pump circulated systems fills the evaporator with liquid which reduce heat transfer by 50 % and increases the pressure loss which increase energy consumption. For pump circulated systems an energy saving of minimum 20% is typical for optimized systems, and much more on systems without circulation control.
In DX systems a larger part of the evaporator is used for superheating and the superheat is increased which reduce capacity and increase the power consumption dramatically. We have documentation showing an energy saving of 20% during full load and 50% during part load for a DX ammonia system. Link to the documentation.
Inline
The straight version called Inline is available from 1” to 2” and the sensor accepts flow in both directions. The pressure loss in the sensor is very low due to the straight flow and smooth internal design. Mounting can be both horizontal and vertical position. The sensor is made in stainless steel and can be butt welded (TIG) or brazed into the system.

Rod style version
The rod style sensor has been on the market for several years and works well if it is installed correctly. This sensor only measures the liquid inside the sensor element itself, and not like the other types between the inner element and the pipe walls. This means the sensor must be installed where the liquid flows at the bottom of a horizontal pipe. The sensor must be installed in an elbow with the sensor element located at the bottom of a horizontal pipe.

Strainer house version
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.

Technical data: HBSO - Temperature range: 0...+60°C
HBSO is a level switch for detecting common lubricating oils in gas and air. Typically, it is installed in/on the compressor and the oil separator, but it is also suited for installation in other locations where you like to detect oil. The sensor's measurement principle makes it unique for these purposes, since the properties of the measurement principle allows it, among other things, to detect oil without detecting ammonia or water. It is calibrated so that it is unaffected by oil spray and only allows a small amount of foam. The sensor is constructed to resist high pressure and temperatures. For oil temperatures above 60°C (140°F) the HBSO-MT or HBSO-HT must be used.
The switch must be supplied with 24 V DC through an Ex-barrier, which must be an approved and certifided galvanically isolated interface barrier placed outside the hazardous area. The switch is a 2-wire design with analog output which either will be 4 (no liquid detection) or 20 mA (liquid detection). The digital input shall be connected to the Ex-barrier. The Ex-barrier is not sccope of supply. The sensor can be set-up for liquid type in the HB-Tool which can be downloaded from our web-page. See HB-Tool. It is as well possible to switch from NO to NC type in the HB-Tool. Diagnostic is as well a possibility with the tool. The programming must be carried out in an non hazardous area.
The sensor range include sensors for zone 0 and 1 according to ATEX/IECEx. The sensors can be used in device category 1G and temperature class T1...T6.
A 5 m cable with M12 plug type IEC61076-2-101 is included.
Technical data: HBLT-A3
HBLT-A3 capacitive liquid level sensors are used to measure liquid levels in industrial systems. It is ideal for industrial applications, industrial refrigeration systems, heat pumps and other applications with either high pressure or high temeperature. The sensor transmits a current signal from 4 to 20 mA (4 mA when the transmitter does not register liquid - and 20 mA when the entire transmitter is surrounded by liquid).
The sensor is designed in stainless steel and can be used in corrosive environments. The sensor must be supplied with 24 V DC through an Ex-barrier, which must be an approved and certifided galvanically isolated interface barrier placed outside the hazardous area. The sensor is a 2-wire design with analog output with 4 mA (empti tank) and 20 mA (full tank). The analog output shall be connected to the Ex-barrier. The Ex-barrier is not sccope of supply.
The sensor can be set-up for liquid type in the HB-Tool which can be downloaded from our web-page. See HB-Tool. Diagnostic is as well a possibility with the tool. The programming must be carried out in an non hazardous area.

A 5 m cable with M12 plug type IEC61076-2-101 is included.
Technical data: HBSR
HBSR is a level switch for detecting liquids. It is calibrated in such a way that splash water and foaming cannot harm it. The sensor is made of stainless steel and can therefore also be used in corrosive environments. It withstands high pressures and low temperatures. The HBSR may only be used in steel tanks or steel pipes.
The switch must be supplied with 24 V DC power across an Ex barrier. This barrier must be an approved and certified galvanically isolated interface barrier located outside the hazardous area. The switch is a 2-wire version with an analog output with 4 mA (no liquid detection) and 20 mA (liquid detection). The digital input must be connected to the Ex barrier. The Ex barrier is not included.
The sensor can be adapted to the respective liquid type using our HB tool, which you can download from our website. See HB Tool. In addition, the HB Tool can also be used to switch between NC and closing contacts. Diagnoses can also be carried out with the tool. Programming must be carried out outside the danger zone.
According to ATEX/IECEx, the sensor range includes sensors for zones 0 and 1. The sensors can be used in device category 1G and temperature class T1... T6.
