In the medical field, the primary HVAC standard is ASHRAE Standard 170. One of the vital duties of an HVAC system in this space is to filter and control the spread of airborne infectious particles. Infection control is a focus of the medical field as procedures continue to evolve with technology advancements. The medical field relies on HVAC technology not only to fulfill regulatory requirements, but also to reliably and accurately manage their environments to keep patients safe.

Setra's latest innovation is the Setra Lite Visual Pressure Indicator. Setra Lite contains a high accuracy differential pressure transducer with an LED indicator, taking our capacitive transducers to the next level and filling a need in applications where a full-featured room pressure monitor is not required.

Mechanical equipment requires precise elements to ensure the system works properly. Without accurate components, a mechanical system can't function. Manufacturers of such systems are reliant on the producers of the components for their equipment. The manufacturer in question provides a mechanical system used in all climate conditions across the globe; in this application, accurate readings within a short system operation time are critical.

Many costs are associated with implementing an energy management strategy for a company, including hardware, software, and labor. Choosing the right power meter to fulfill the needs of said strategy is critical for the success of any project. Delivering on the ROI of the strategy is key to meeting the objectives of the energy management strategy, so be sure to keep in mind the initial cost for a faster ROI.

Recently, Setra hosted a webinar presenting the Model AXD. The Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor is the platform for Setra's industrial transducer future. It is the best performing low range and vacuum sensor in this price range on the market.

Critical environments are spaces where highly controlled processes take place. These room conditions prioritize safety of personnel and the protection of assets. Poor environmental control in these high-consequence applications can put people, processes, or products at risk. Examples of critical environments include:

Advancements in technology have created a need for enhanced pressure sensing technology, the next generation of pressure transducers. To meet this new demand, we designed the Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor, the updated and improved version of the Model 209. The Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor is built leveraging the strength of the 209's variable capacitance sensor paired with a new electronics platform. With enhanced performance through digital signal conditioning and a rugged, laser-welded construction, the Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor has the reliability and accuracy necessary for industrial and OEM applications.

Come see Setra at the 2019 ASHP Midyear Show in Las Vegas! We will be exhibiting at Booth 1769. The show runs from December 9-11.

We recently interviewed one of our sales managers about Setra FLEX. He answered some of the most common questions related to FLEX and its capabilities as a hub.

Vacuum pressure sensors are employed in a range of industrial applications, from high-speed injection molding to semiconductor manufacturing to raw material handling. They can also be found in many different medical and dental devices. These types of medical and dental devices utilize a relatively low vacuum pressure to remove matter. Depending on the specific application, these devices vary from finely controlling aspiration in human organs to saliva ejectors at the dentist. Certain surgical equipment will evacuate minuscule amounts of matter or tissue that are removed as part of a medical procedure. Vacuum sensors can also be used for pressure testing disposable medical devices to ensure there are no leaks.
