Danfoss MBS 3050 Pressure Transmitter

Danfoss MBS 3050 Compact pressure transmitters with pulse snubber

The compact heavy duty pressure transmitter MBS 3050 is designed for use in hydraulic applications with severe medium influences like cavitation, liquid hammer or pressure peaks and offers a reliable pressure measurement, even under harsh environmental conditions.

The flexible pressure transmitter programme covers a 4-20 mA output signal, absolute and gauge (relative) versions, measuring ranges from 0-1 to 0-600 bar and a wide range of pressure- and electrical connections.

Excellent vibration stability, robust construction, and a high degree of EMC/EMI protection equip the pressure transmitter to meet the most stringent industrial requirements.

MBS 3050 with integrated pulse snubber is specially suited for hydraulic applications where cavitation, liquid hammer or pressure peaks may occur – influences that often cause a short but extreme excess of the max. working pressure of the transmitter.

The integrated pulse snubber is in principle design as a nozzle mounted in the passage between the measured medium and the pressure sensitive element of the transmitter.

Application – Cavitation, liquid hammer and pressure peaks may occur in hydraulic systems with changes in flow velocity, e.g. fast closing of a valve or pump starts and stops.  The problem can occur on the inlet and outlet side of a pump or valve even at rather low operating pressures.

Media condition – Clogging of the nozzle may occur in liquids containing particles.  Mounting the transmitter in an upright position minimises the risk of clogging, because the flow into the nozzle is restricted to the start-up period when the dead volume behind the nozzle fills.  The media viscosity has only little effect on the response time.  Even at viscosities up to 100cSt, the response time will not exceed 4ms.
