Measures interpreted for a proper diagnostic
Heat pumps require precise balancing of pressures and temperatures to function correctly. A manifold is used to measure these parameters, prevent anomalies, anticipate breakdowns and optimise system performance.
The latest generation of Sauermann manifolds has precise and ergonomic sensors for measuring pressure and temperature, facilitating a complete and efficient diagnosis of the circuit. Technicians can thus quickly identify anomalies, such as leaks or a drop in the efficiency of the heat pump.

Pressure and temperature measurements provide important information on the condition of the refrigeration circuit. They make it possible to check the functioning of the components and detect anomalies such as dirt or a refrigerant leak.
The Sauermann Si-RM350 and Si-RM450 manifolds are compatible with all fluids (A1, A2L and A3) and have responsive and very accurate wired and wireless sensors. Their ease of use and eight integrated measurement programmes enable a reliable and rapid diagnosis to be made.

Si-RM13
This Si-RM13 combines the sturdiness of the analog manifold with digital smart wireless temperature and pressure probes.
This premium package includes a traditional 2-channel analog manifold body (by-pass type) with flexible hoses and a durable block made of anodised aluminum.

Pressure measurements
Pressure measurements
In a heat pump, it is vital to maintain the correct levels of suction pressure (low pressure) and discharge pressure (high pressure). Any excess or lack of fluid, the clogging of components or the overloading of circuits can throw the whole system out of balance.
Si-RP4 pressure sensors are curved to facilitate their connection to all types of installation: air conditioning, refrigeration systems, heat pumps and reversible systems. They provide precise measurements to enable effective interventions.
Si-RP4 Wireless pressure probe
This wireless pressure probe provides accurate high and low-pressure measurements for air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump installations.
The Si-RP4 allows all types of refrigerant-based installations to be serviced quickly and safely. It connects easily to the mobile application Sauermann Pilot via a low-power wireless communication protocol.

Temperature measurements
Temperature measurements
Temperature measurements are added to pressure measurements to check for subcooling and superheating. Abnormal temperatures can be a sign of an inadequate amount of fluid, a defective regulator or system clogging.
Sauermann temperature probes are equipped with an extremely sensitive NTC sensor. The Si-RT2 and Si-RT7 have a parrot beak design for optimal contact for a more reliable and faster measurement. The Velcro temperature probes can be adapted to larger diameter pipes.
Si-RT7 Wireless temperature clamp
This wireless probe provides accurate temperature measurement to enable the calculation of superheat and subcooling values in air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump installations. Its parrot-shaped clamp ensures perfect contact with pipes from 6 to 42 mm (0.2’’ to 1.7’’).
The Si-RT7 allows all types of refrigerant-based installations to be serviced quickly, thanks to the excellent responsiveness of its NTC sensor. It connects easily to the Si-RM350 and Si-RM450 manifolds, as well as to the mobile application Sauermann Pilot.
Si-RT5 Wired temperature probe for large diameter pipe
This wired probe provides accurate temperature measurement to enable the calculation of superheat and subcooling values in air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump installations. Its hook-and-loop fastener makes it particularly suitable for large pipes up to 100 mm diameter.
The Si-RT5 allows all types of refrigerant-based installations to be serviced quickly, thanks to the excellent responsiveness of its NTC sensor. It connects easily to the Si-RM350 and Si-RM450 manifolds.

Metrological requirements
Metrological requirements
The regulations for the verification of tools are very strict. Pressure gauges, thermometers, leak detectors, recovery stations and scales must be checked annually. Any incorrectly calibrated device can lead to errors in the interpretation of results.
Sauermann technicians have state-of-the-art equipment to check and calibrate your devices. These services can be provided in our laboratories in Dordogne or Lyon, but also on site throughout the country, thanks to our team of travelling metrologists.
