Equipment Danfoss
Danfoss is a leading global player within the development and production of mechanical and electronic products and controls. Since 1933, its extensive know-how has made modern life easier and Danfoss continues to break new ground within its core business areas.
Main business areas of Dnafoss company are
- heating
- refrigeration
- VLT drives
An outstanding temperature sensor performance is characterised by:
- the element
- the ability to react fast and precise
- the packaging
1. Elements
Depending on the equipment different element technologies can be applied:
- RTD (Pt100/Pt1000) – for standardised signals and high accuracy the RTD’s are a perfect choice:
- thermistors (NTC/PTC)
— the optimum solution for OEM equipment in large volumes.
- thermocouples
— a well-known technology for high temperatures and heavy-duty applications.
If required the temperature sensor can also be delivered with a transmitter to get an analogue signal:
- 4-20 mA
- voltage
- ratio metric
2. The ability to react fast and precise
Special care has been put into the design of the sensor in relation to the reaction time. A specially developed sensor element fixture ensures contact between the element and the housing material in order to secure a fast heat transfer from the media to the sensor element. On top of this the sensor construction ensures minimum radiation of heat, which results in a measurement very close to the actual
temperature of the media.
3. Packaging
The sensor design offers long-life stability through:
- high shock and vibration stability
- high enclosure grade (special cases up to IP 69K)
- flexible choice of sensor material:
— stainless steel (AISI 316)
— brass
- gold plated contacts to secure flawless signal
Years of experience allow Danfoss to provide you with advanced solutions that will meet your every requirement in terms of both performance and life cycle cost.

Transportation
Marine, Mobile Hydraulics and Railways
The increasing global focus on environmental and safety legislations calls for more control and automation.
Danfoss accommodate this by optimising product functions and specifications allowing you to comply with the new demands. Our wide sensor range comprises solutions for:
- marine equipment (MBT 5250/5252/5116/5113 series)
- mobile hydraulic equipment (MBT 3270 series)
- railway equipment (MBT 5310/5252/3270 series)
Machnie and equipment
Industrial Hydraulics, Air Compressors, Water Pumps and Industrial Engines.
Within machine and equipment the temperature sensor specifications depend on the specific application. Close cooperation with customers has allowed us to develop dedicated sensor solutions for:
- water pumps and air compressors (MBT 3270/5250 series)
- industrial engines (MBT 3270/5250/5111 series)
- industrial hydraulics (MBT 3270 series)
Heating and sanitation
Sterilisers, Autoclaves, Boiler and Boiler Room Equipment.
Energy efficiency and safety are frequent challenges in heating and sanitation applications. The answer is
highly reliable and accurate measurements, which is achieved by using specialised sensors. Bearing the
above equipment in mind we have developed dedicated temperature sensors for:
- sterilisers and autoclaves (MBT 153/5253 series)
- boiler and boiler room equipment (MBT 5252/5250/5410 series)
Energy
Wind Turbines and Electric Power.
One of the most distinct global challenges now and in the future is how to produce energy in a both efficient and environmentally friendly way. In cooperation with some of the
leading manufacturers of process and energy equipment, Danfoss has developed – and is continuously refining – solutions for:
- wind turbines (MBT 5250/5310 series)
- gen sets (MBT 5250/5252/5116/5111 series)
