WE INCREASE UPTIME EFFICIENCY IN THE REFRIGERATION INDUSTRY Instruction manual HBSR – NH ,HFC & Brine switch For the detection of refrigerants and/or phase separation between oil and ammonia Instruction manual - HBSR – Refrigeration Switch (HBSR-003-UK) 1 / 12...
Intended use, conditions of use The HBSR switch is manufactured so as to detect various refrigerant types, as well as to detect phase separation between oil and ammonia. If HBSR is to be used in a different way or for another purpose, and if the operation of the product in this function is determined to be problematic, prior approval must be obtained from HB Products.
When liquid covers the sensor, the measured calibration. capacity changes. HB Products sensors are calibrated so that they differentiate between conductive and non-conductive liquids. In refrigeration systems, the oil, HFCs and liquid CO are not regarded as conductive fluids, whereas refrigerants such as ammonia, and brine are regarded as conductive.
40 V the electronics will be damaged Function HBSR is a level switch for detecting common refrigerants, including NH and brine, but it can also be used for oil return management in ammonia refrigeration systems.
EFFICIENCY IN THE REFRIGERATION INDUSTRY Examples of usage The HBSR switch is well suited to be used for Indication of high and low refrigerant levels in liquid separators, pump separators, economisers, and inter coolers. on/off control of liquid injection in liquid separators, pump separators, economisers, and inter...
HBPA. Power connection HBSR can be delivered with a PNP or NPN output. The connection depends on the selected sensor type as well as the type of controller/PLC used. Instruction manual - HBSR – Refrigeration Switch (HBSR-003-UK)
IN THE REFRIGERATION INDUSTRY Installation guide HBSR is installed on a pipe socket depending on the type of thread on the sensor. Sensors with NPT"/BSPT" are sealed with Teflon tape or liquid gasket. For other thread types, solid gasket is used.
Fault detection NOTE! Fault detection on the electronic function can be carried out without releasing pressure from the system or disassembling the mechanical part from the sensor. Instruction manual - HBSR – Refrigeration Switch (HBSR-003-UK) 9 / 12...

The sensor electronics are completely sealed and can therefore not be repaired. In case of faults with the sensor, it will typically only be necessary to replace the electronics. Complaint cases are handled by the HB Products dealers/distributors. Their complaints procedures must be followed before returning the sensor.
