Sensata Technologies, one of the worlds leading suppliers of sensing, electrical protection, control and power management solutions, today announced the availability of a new white paper to help manufacturers of HVAC and cooling systems design next generation solutions that can take advantage of "green" refrigerants that do not adversely impact the environment.
This means replacing refrigerants that can damage the atmosphere and deplete the ozone layer with natural refrigerants that do not negatively impact our environment. This includes new hydrocarbon refrigerants such as R290, R600a, R32, as well as CO2 and Ammonia. Given the changes in refrigerants being used around the world, it is clear that natural refrigerants are important to the future landscape of the HVAC industry.
However, these emerging refrigerants come with a variety of challenges such as extreme high pressures, extreme corrosiveness, and flammability.
Titled "How to Solve the Challenges of Using Natural Refrigerants in Cooling System Design", this new Sensata white paper provides an overview of various methods used to mitigate these technical challenges as well as a look at the some of the HVAC and refrigeration hardware and safety technologies required to handle these new refrigerants, especially pressure switches and pressure sensors.
"Component manufacturers must meet the design challenges posed by these non-synthetic refrigerants to optimize safety and efficiency," said William Bentley, Engineering Manager, Industrial Solutions. "A critical part of this evolution is the knowledge of what kinds of hardware and systems must be specified for the safe implementation of these new and more technically challenging materials."

JCO Series: NVIDIA Jetson Rugged AI Edge Computers
The JCO Series is a line of NVIDIA Jetson rugged AI edge computers. Unlike standard CPUs, the JCO series employs NVIDIA Jetson-Orin modules, introducing an ARM-based SOM (System-on-Module) architecture with CPU, GPU, and RAM on the same module. This integration brings about significant AI performance right to the edge, coupled with a rugged, fanless design suitable for enduring extreme environments. This series highlights low power consumption (7-60 watts) yet delivers high AI performance up to 275 TOPS, a feat difficult for typical x86 solutions to match. The integration of customizable EDGEBoost IO technology and out-of-band remote management features ensures advanced connectivity and maintenance capabilities, solidifying the JCO Series as an essential solution for mission-critical deployments such as AGV & AMRs, security & surveillance, industrial automation, and industrial IoT. With UL listed, E-Mark, FCC, and CE certifications, the JCO Series meets the highest industry standards for ultimate safety and reliability.
