Sensata MGD Resonix Refrigerant Leak Sensors

Sensata Technologies MGD Resonix Refrigerant Leak Sensors detect refrigerant leaks in HVAC and refrigeration systems by using the speed of sound technology. The compact module incorporates temperature and humidity compensation for accurate detection across varying environmental conditions. MGD sensors support R32, R454, and R455 series refrigerants, including multi-refrigerant detection capabilities. These sensors deliver fast response times with a 2.5s T28 response, 5s average T60 response, and less than 5s warm-up time. Additionally, MGD sensors include embedded self-diagnostics, IP54 protection, low power consumption below 40mA, and UL 60335-2-40 recognition. Applications include commercial refrigeration and heat pump systems.

Video Transcript

Squeaks, creaks, and leaks. The first two are usually annoying but harmless, but if you have a leak and that leak is a refrigerant leak then it might just ruin your week. Sensata MGD Series A2L Refrigerant Leak Sensors save your week at the speed of sound. The sensors monitor the acoustic resonance of surrounding airwaves to detect gas leaks that correspond to different refrigerants, including R32, R454, and R455 series refrigerants. This sensing method doesn’t use chemical reactions or moving parts, enabling a 15+ years lifetime. It also has a fast warmup time, fast response time, and embedded self-diagnostics that run once per minute. MGD series sensors include temperature and humidity compensation to ensure high accuracy. They operate from a 5Vdc input and draw <40mA. They’re offered in a compact package with an integral connector and IP54 protection.
