Condensation proof

Vega Controls says condensation collecting inside pressure sensors is a common problem particularly in hydrostatic and process pressure transmitters in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical sectors, and outdoor applications.

To overcome this, Vega has designed a special Vegabar pressure transmitter that uses two high accuracy sealed 'absolute' measuring cells. One cell measures barometric or gauge pressure, the other is for the process pressure (including gauge). They are mounted in an IP66/IP68 housing with a Gortex breather. The design isolates the sensitive measuring cell circuits. Any condensation remains in the wetted 'process side' of the unit, not in the electronics.
