Keeping a commercial HVAC system up and running efficiently can take a lot of work. But there are products on the market that ensure the system is functioning as it should by watching and directing system operation. The AquaGuard AG-3180E Plenum Rated Micro Pan Sensor by Resource Conservation Technologies is one such product that monitors what is occurring with the HVAC system and takes action when there’s a problem.
The condensate sensor is mounted directly in the primary drain pan, which, said Tammy White, inside sales manager, Resource Conservation Technologies, makes it ideal to be used with commercial package units. The bonus secondary sensor features water detection LED and easily installs in the metal or plastic secondary drain pan. Both sensors continuously monitor any condensate overflow in the primary and secondary drain pans and automatically shut off the system and activate an alarm if any overflow is detected in as little as 1/16 inch of water in either drain pan.
