In automated systems like HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) and BMS (Building Management System), differential pressure sensors play a critical role in accurately monitoring and controlling airflow or liquid flow.

Today’s market features several reputable brands in this segment, including Dwyer (USA), Honeywell (USA), Siemens (Germany), and Johnson Controls (USA).

So what makes Dwyer sensors stand out? How do they compare in terms of performance, durability, and cost? Let’s explore a detailed comparison with insights from DLK, the official Dwyer distributor in Vietnam.

1. Overview of Differential Pressure Sensors

A differential pressure sensor measures the pressure difference between two points. In HVAC and BMS systems, it's used for:

Monitoring air or water filters
Controlling fan speed and airflow
Measuring room pressure in cleanrooms and labs
Detecting pressure drops in AHUs, FCUs, chillers, and ductwork
