Sensata Technologies has unveiled a new R290 pressure and temperature sensor designed to support the growing shift toward low‑global‑warming‑potential (GWP) and PFAS‑free refrigerants in electric vehicle (EV) thermal management. The sensor, tailored for the highly flammable but eco‑friendly propane refrigerant, promises accurate monitoring while meeting stringent safety and regulatory standards. By enabling reliable use of R290 in battery cooling and HVAC systems, the product could accelerate adoption of greener refrigerants across the EV supply chain. The launch comes amid heightened industry focus on reducing climate impact and eliminating harmful per‑fluorinated substances from automotive applications.
