Applications of CCS Power Generation Sensors & Switches

Today’s global demand for power is unlike ever before. Power generation systems and plant technologies are having to move beyond the typical combined cycle designs towards new, cleaner ways of harnessing the energy needed to power the planet. These new methods, like hydroelectric power generation, combined with a growing need to make traditional methods more environmentally friendly have created a new need for extremely intelligent and reliable sensors and switches.

Both pressure and temperature sensors and switches are key to fluid management, process controls, and safety in Power Generation. These small but important devices are used to prevent over and under pressurization and maintain a correct level of pressure or temperature of a system to ensure efficient operation and a safe working environment. Power generation sensors and switches can be found managing gas pressure in power plants and turbines, maintaining oil pressure in the lubrication systems of power generation machines, preventing overpressurization in steam boilers, and more.

CCS sensors and switches made specifically for the power generation industry are designed to withstand the intense pressures and temperatures encountered in many applications throughout the industry. Their durable build makes them impervious to shock and vibration while pressure spikes and ripples are dealt with using a pressure tolerance limit of 16,000 psi. Our patented DUAL-SNAP® action technology also minimizes premature wear and tear while lowering the overall cost of ownership.
