Consumer Goods Sensors
Micronova offers MEAS by TE Connectivity that are used by the consumer goods industry to improve functionality in home appliances, computers and business equipment. TE connectivity has partnered with many major appliance manufacturers to break new ground in the creation of smart appliances that can respond to human touch, sense vibration, adjust automatically to different loads, and improve efficiency.
Some of the consumer goods we supply sensors for include
Refrigerators-Humidity controls keep vegetables fresh while humidity sensors monitor temperature outside the refrigerator to improve efficiency by avoiding costly defrost cycles.
Printers - Humidity monitoring of air and paper improves the drying process of ink jet printers. Toner humidity monitoring guarantees print quality in laser printers/copiers.
Dehumidifier--Humidity and temperature sensors help improve air quality.
Washer/Dryer--Low cost Piezo Film vibration sensors measure load imbalance to avoid Walking. Humidity or thermopile sensors are used in dryers to automatically shut off when clothes are dry.
Sensors
| Application | Function |
|---|---|
| Dish Washer | MR sensor is used to detect rotation of spray arm and make sure it is not blocked Humidity sensor is used to control drying process NTC thermistors are to control temperature of water |
| Washing Machine | Piezo film sensor acts as accelerometer to detect load imbalance during spin cycles Glass NTC thermistor is used to control water temperature Humidity or thermopile sensors is used to shut off when clothes are dry Pressure sensor is used to control water level |
| Refrigerator | Management of defrost heater cycle for energy efficiency Humidity and temperature control in fresh food compartment Excess ICE forming prevention Detection of door gasket sealing by default for energy efficiency Food conservation optimization in fridge compartments |
