New Coolant Level Sensor Utilises Giant Magneto Resistive Technology
Gentech had a challenge from one of it's Transportation customers. They had a small coolant tank but required three level measurements in a short space.
This tight space did not allow the use of reed switches and the Gentech design team developed and produced a new sensor using Giant Magneto Resistive sensors (GMR). This allowed three level sensing points within a very small sensor.
