NevadaNano Releases Integration-Ready Sensors for A1, A2L and A3 Refrigerants

Nov. 11, 2020
Proclaimed benefits for HVACR manufacturers include low total cost of ownership.
RENO, NEVADA - NevadaNano Inc., a leading worldwide innovator in gas detection sensor technology, reported on Nov. 2,  2020 that it has expanded its Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS™) Refrigerant Product Family with gas sensors for A1, A2L, and A3 refrigerants. The NevadaNano family of sensors is the first to meet the new North American Standards Developing Organizations and global IEC/CENELEC standards as well as AHRTI performance specifications for residential and commercial HVAC and cooling/refrigeration applications. As a result, sources report the sensors are being adopted quickly by global HVAC and refrigeration leaders as they strive to meet compliance requirements.

“Emerging global regulation is putting pressure on HVAC & refrigeration equipment manufacturers to utilize low global warming refrigerants like A2L,” said Bob Christensen, Senior Director Business Development, NevadaNano Inc. “Our innovative, versatile MPS gas sensors, which are available for immediate integration, give manufacturers an advanced solution to help them meet the January 2023 deadline for compliance to new global standards.”

Available immediately, the MPS Gas Sensor Family of A1, A2L, A3 refrigerant gas sensors deliver unparalleled performance in challenging HVAC environments with the industry’s lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) when compared to traditional catalytic bead and NDIR sensors.

Features which sources say only NevadaNanos MPS Gas Sensors provide include:

•     Accurate detection of standard A1 refrigerants as well emerging A2L’s and A3’s without drift and "false positive" alarms that create costly service calls and frustrated customers

•      Immune to “poisoning” so they won’t stop working when exposed to common household and industrial chemicals, enabling lifetimes beyond 10 years

•      Reduced costs by ending the need to use and maintain multiple sensors in a single location or application

•      MPS versatile platform delivers solutions to detect multiple types of refrigerant gases in diverse applications

•      Rugged designs that adapt to multiple markets and applications including residential and commercial HVAC, data center cooling, commercial, grocery store, cold chain refrigeration, and transportation and processing refrigeration

•      Quickly and accurately locates expensive in refrigerant leaks and proactively mitigate costly refrigerant loss.

•      Continuously ensure safer environments for workers and homeowners with fast, accurate, and reliable performance
