Developing refrigeration equipment for the US market? EPA’s revised rules give some applications more time to move to refrigerants with a lower climate impact.

For new supermarket refrigeration systems, the stricter limits have moved to 1 January 2032. An interim limit applies from 1 January 2027.

The limits use global warming potential, or GWP, to compare how strongly refrigerants contribute to warming if released into the atmosphere. From 2032, these systems will need refrigerants with a GWP below 150 or 300, depending on how much refrigerant they contain and their configuration.

That distinction matters when choosing between R454A and R454C. R454A falls below the 300 threshold, but above 150. R454C falls below both. Meeting the GWP limit is one part of the decision; each refrigerant also has conditions governing where and how it can be used.

For a product range expected to remain in production beyond 2032, those future requirements belong in today’s design brief.

Senseair supports refrigerant leak detection for both R454A and R454C. Bring us into the discussion early so we can help you plan the sensing part of your design.

39 years on one AA battery. That’s where the napkin math lands for a Senseair S12 CO₂ measuring every 30 seconds.

Senseair S12 is a remarkable piece of engineering. In pushing for a smaller sensor, our team have also brought power consumption down to levels that make calculations like this possible.

A big thank you to our research and development teams at Senseair for knocking it out of the park.

When working with Senseair, you’re always welcome to draw on our experience in NDIR, gas sensing and product development to find the right design for your application.

Working with methane measurement or emissions reporting in the energy sector?

The European Commission is inviting feedback on draft reporting templates under the EU Methane Regulation. The consultation is open until 6 November 2026.

For those collecting, verifying or working with methane emissions data, this is an opportunity to review the proposed format and contribute practical experience before it is finalised.

Methane sensing is a direction we are exploring further at Senseair, so we are following these developments with particular interest. We encourage colleagues across the gas measurement community to review the draft and share their input.

Read the proposal and submit feedback:

John Maat and Andreas Olsson are making the rounds at Chillventa today!

They’re there as visitors, so grab them for a chat if you spot them. Bring your questions about refrigerant sensing, tell them what you’re working on, or simply say hello.

They’re only there today, so catch them while you can!

UL 60335-2-40’s fourth-edition guidance requires mitigation when the detection system senses 25% of the lower flammability limit. Senseair’s RDS has a default detection threshold of 10% LFL.

Why?

Detecting a leak does not immediately disperse it. The controller and fan need time to respond. In UL’s full-scale testing, refrigerant concentrations fell substantially once the fan reached the required airflow, even while the leak continued.

How much time an earlier trigger buys depends on the leak rate, gas dispersion and sensor position. We’d rather give the mitigation system more time to respond.

Ethan Brooke has reviewed the Aeropulse A200-CO2, which uses our S12 sensor. After co-locating and calibrating the monitors, he found that its CO₂ readings closely followed those from an S8-based AirGradient monitor and a Sunrise-based Aranet4 Home.

He describes S12 as “a substantial step forward in terms of size and power consumption” at its target price point, building on what he calls “the gold standard of CO2 sensing.”

The review includes the comparison plots and calibration procedure. These are informal checks between monitors, without a laboratory reference.

Thank you Ethan Brooke for testing the monitor and publishing the results, and to {(urn:li:organization:113047961)[Aeropulse]} for developing it around S12. We look forward to reading more of your tests.

I tested the Aeropulse A200-CO2, the first monitor with Senseair's new S12 sensor. Here's how it compares to the Aranet4 Home, and whether $109 is worth it.

Is S12 as small as an NDIR gas sensor can get without compromising performance?

Meet Toshiaki Matsumoto, our MD and CEO, who began his engineering career at Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) . Questions like this are at the heart of what makes the connection between AKM and Senseair so valuable.

The real magic can happen when semiconductor expertise meets gas-sensing expertise.

AKM’s semiconductor knowledge and our decades of NDIR experience give us more to work with as we pursue smaller sensors with lower power consumption and higher performance. We are grateful to have colleagues at AKM who share these challenges with us.

Many applications seek low power consumption, but who would actually look for a sensor with high power consumption?

Well, take a greenhouse, for example. Condensation is part of the design problem, as water on the optical surfaces can absorb infrared light and interfere with the CO₂ measurement. Our GH sensors use internal heating to help prevent condensation and limit these effects. That means higher power consumption, but it serves a purpose.

With 30+ years of sensor manufacturing experience, Senseair has designed products for just about every environment. If you're ever unsure about the availability of a gas sensor supporting the specific needs for your application environment, reach out to our expert support team!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us at Sensor China!

It’s been a busy three days in Shanghai, and we’ve enjoyed hearing about what you’re working on and talking through where our sensors might fit.

If you have more questions or didn’t get a chance to speak with us, get in touch. We’re happy to keep the conversation going.

Safe travels home from all of us at Senseair!

Day 1 at Sensor China in the books!

Juan Guo, Toshiaki Matsumoto, Arvid Egeland, Weiwei Zhang, Mikael Åkerholm, Ting Wang and Summer Xia taking a moment for a team photo after the first day.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to talk sensors and tell us about what you're working on.

We're here for another two days, so come and say hello at booth C035. Bring your questions too, we’re always happy to get into the details.
