A SENSOR FOR CONDENSATION / CONDENSATE CONTROL SYSTEMS. USED TO PREVENT: CHILLED BEAM CONDENSATION OR CHILLED BEAM CONDENSATE FORMATION, OR CHILLED CEILING CONDENSATION & RADIANT PANEL CONDENSATION & "RAIN", OR TO CONTROL CONDENSATE FORMATION ON LIQUID COOLED OR WATER COOLED HEAT EXCHANGERS - A CONDENSATION SENSOR OR CONDENSATE SENSOR.
CONDENSATION SENSOR ( CONDENSATE SENSOR )
FOR CHILLED BEAM, CHILLED CEILING OR RADIANT PANEL HVAC, OR FOR ANY WATER COOLED SYSTEM
GET THE MAXIMUM COOLING EFFECTIVENESS FROM YOUR CHILLED WATER COOLING SYSTEM AND POSITIVELY AVOID CONDENSATION "RAIN" WITH A CONSENSOR BASED CONDENSATION CONTROL SENSOR
The CONSENSOR is a patented unique, well proven condensation sensor that instantly reacts to the actual initial onset of the condensation process. This response usually occurs before there is any perceptible trace of condensate ... before there is any risk of "rain". Other so-called "condensation sensors" are predicated on dew point or humidity. They must signal a condensation condition well before it actually occurs to compensate for the instrumentation error or that "Margin of Safety" inherent with those other sensors. There are no such errors inherent with the CONSENSOR ... it reacts only to condensation's actual onset ... instantly !!
This distinction is important if you want to avoid an unnecessary reduction of coolant flow to your heat exchangers - often at a time when you need the cooling capacity most. With other so-called condensation sensors, the condensation condition will be signaled well before it actually occurs - often when it might never have occurred at all. This premature indication is the only way other sensors can be certain that condensation rain or drip won't happen.
With a CONSENSOR based condensation control system, the coolant flow can continue at maximum capacity right to the brink of the condensation occurrence. This is still early enough to cut back or stop the coolant flow before enough condensate forms to be of any concern. This has been proven in many chilled beam HVAC installations, in water cooled power supplies, in large industrial welders, etc. ..... even in nuclear atomic accelerators. The instant the threat of condensation passes, the CONSENSOR restores coolant flow.
There has been much confusion about so-called condensation sensors in the HVAC industry.

Model CG -ICM -P or Model CG -ICM -F
These integrate a Model CG CONSENSOR
with a Model ICM Circuit Module
These provide a fully isolated (voltage free) Normally Closed solid state contacts for systems with -- or without, a Controller.
It can also be used in systems where valves, etc. are controlled directly by thermostats / relays, etc.
Note: Normally Open contacts are also available on special order, but these lack an inherent element of "fail safe" operation.
Add "-N/O" to the model designator when ordering.
ALL CG -ICM SERIES INCLUDE A
Bi-COLOR LED TO INDICATE:
No CONDENSATION, CONDENSATION,
or SENSOR FAULT
USE THE CONSENSOR CONDENSATION SENSOR TO CONTROL OR MONITOR: CHILLED BEAM CONDENSATION / CONDENSATE
CHILLED CEILING CONDENSATION / CONDENSATE
RADIANT PANEL CONDENSATION / CONDENSATE
OR FOR ANY CHILLED WATER COOLING SYSTEM CONDENSATION CONTROL

CONSENSOR BASED
THE FIRST EVER TO BE BASED ON A TRUE CONDENSATION SENSOR
Not a humidity sensor being sold as a "condensation sensor" ! Others are !!
CONSENSORs incorporate the best "FAIL SAFE" design practices.
A really unique feature of the CG-ICM Series is the local LED "Sensor Fault" indication.
If a problem would ever occur, you know it - and the unit can almost always be restored to service.
