Refrigerant Pressure Sensor

The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed to the liquid tank of the air conditioner system. The sensor uses an electrostatic volume pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. VCM calculates refrigerant pressure based on the voltage and sends a refrigerant pressure signal to the A/C auto amp. Furthermore, VCM uses the voltage signal to the cooling fan control.
