Heynen introduces an innovative sensor that represents a breakthrough in the way fluid properties are measured. The new QCRC sensor from EBE Elektro-Bau-Elemente GmbH enables non-contact analysis of liquids, gases and even solids - even through a tank wall or hose.
In industries such as the food industry, real-time monitoring is essential. Think of being able to immediately detect spoiled milk or antibiotic levels that are too high - even before the ingredient is mixed with other components. Where today monitoring is often done batch by batch, these sensors enable continuous monitoring, without manual intervention.
The QCRC sensors combine capacitive and conductive measurements in one integrated system. All measuring electrodes are integrated directly into the sensor, allowing compact dimensions of only 30 x 30 mm - without additional components. Thanks to the I²C interface measured values are available immediately after installation, ideal for fast, cost-effective integration into series production.
Because the sensor does not have to make direct contact with the liquid, they are excellent for use in hygienically sensitive or closed systems. This significantly increases process reliability and safety.
The sensors measure capacitive values of 1 fF to 1000 fF and conductive values of approx. 0.01 to 1000 mS. This makes them suitable for a variety of substances - from liquids and gases to viscous or solid materials. Their applications include:
For those who want to experience the technology in practice first, there is a test kit available. It contains all the necessary components to test the sensor directly in its own production process.
