The Leitenberger Smart Pressure Gate (SPG) model 901_004 is an extremely advanced, intelligent pressure monitoring and control device specifically developed for high-pressure applications in carbon dioxide (R744) based refrigeration systems. This device ensures precise monitoring and control through digital interfaces and high-precision sensors, thereby optimizing energy efficiency and system safety.
This modern solution is capable of replacing conventional mechanical pressure gauges, pressure switches, and analog pressure sensors (with 0…10 V output), integrating the functions into a single, robust unit.
The Smart Pressure Gate 901_004 offers several key advantages for refrigeration technology professionals:
This device is specifically designed for the special requirements of systems operating with carbon dioxide as a natural refrigerant, where managing high operating pressure is critical.
Extreme Pressure Rating: The device withstands extremely high pressure, operating reliably even up to 160 bar in the range.
Excellent Measurement Accuracy: Thanks to the extremely precise sensors, the measurement accuracy is 0.5 % FSS (Full Scale Span – expressed as a percentage of the full measurement range), which guarantees precise control.
The digital outputs of the SPG 901_004 enable fine-tuning of systems and minimization of energy consumption.
EC Fan Speed Control: Supports the speed control of EC (electronically commutated) fans, which results in maximum energy efficiency during the cooling processes.
Replacement Function: As a single device, it can replace mechanical manometers, pressure switches, and traditional 0…10 V analog output pressure transmitters.
The built-in digital communication interfaces allow the device to be integrated into modern monitoring systems (BMS/SCADA).
During design, great emphasis was placed on ease of installation, minimizing downtime.
The detailed technical specifications of the SPG 901_004 device ensure long-term, reliable operation even in the most demanding industrial environments.
