Sensata Technologies Holding

Sensata has unveiled a combined pressure and temperature sensor for thermal management systems, specifically designed for the refrigerant R290 (propane) in electric vehicles. The device integrates pressure and temperature measurement in a single unit, features a leakage-optimized design to minimize refrigerant loss, and offers both analog and LIN output options for system integration. The sensor targets manufacturers of battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and other electrified platforms using R290 as a low-global-warming-potential alternative refrigerant, while taking into account the special requirements related to R290’s flammability. » More on de.investing.com
