Since 1997, Sentera has been a leading manufacturer of fan speed controllers for ventilation systems. However, over the past decades, Sentera has also invested heavily in the development of control systems, sensors and Modbus network equipment. All these individual devices are excellent examples of Belgian top technology. However, combined in our Sentera Solutions, they form high-performance control systems for the most diverse ventilation applications.

Sentera is well known in the ventilation world as a manufacturer of fan speed controllers for electric motors. Sentera fan speed controllers are available in different versions for both AC and EC motors. Sentera manufactures, among other things, the proven and robust transformer fan speed controllers for AC motors. These fan speed controllers use autotransformers and ensure optimal and silent operation of the motor. These fan speed controllers are available for motors with a capacity of up to 20 A. In addition to these transformer fan speed controllers, Sentera's electronic fan speed controllers are also available. These fan speed controllers work on the basis of phase angle control (Triac) and are therefore much more compact and lightweight. These fan speed controllers are available for motors up to 10 A. Sentera has developed a range of potentiometers for controlling EC motors, with or without Modbus compatibility. Significant energy savings Sentera has developed an extensive range of sensors and transmitters to efficiently control our fan speed controllers. Based on measurements of moisture, temperature, CO2, air quality, CO and NO2, ventilation systems can be controlled optimally and significant energy savings can be achieved.
Sentera HVAC sensors measure temperature - relative humidity – CO2 – air quality or TVOC - CO - NO2 and ambient light. These parameters have a direct impact on the health, the sense of well-being and the comfort of residents. The differential pressure sensors also measure air volume flow or air velocity. A typical application is to monitor the amount of fresh air that is supplied into a building. Sensor controllers and intelligent sensors can directly control EC fans, AC fan speed controllers or damper actuators.
To set, monitor and adjust our sensors and Modbus devices remotely, we developed the Senteraweb online HVAC platform. The Senteraweb platform also offers the possibility to install installation-specific firmware and to control ventilation systems according to an adjustable calendar function. Sentera Solutions In recent years, Sentera has built up a library of solutions for the most diverse ventilation applications. On the Sentera website, all these Sentera Solutions are divided into specific groups, depending on the application. With each solution you will find a clear description of the application and a handy wiring diagram. Some solutions require specific firmware that can be installed via Senteraweb.
Curious about what Sentera has to offer? Then be sure to take a look at our new product catalogue. This was recently supplemented with our latest products.
Do you want to get started immediately with one of our Sentera Solutions? Via the handy search function on our website you will find the 'plug and play' solution for your ventilation system in no time.

What is the difference between VAV and CAV? What does Constant Pressure Control involve?When desgning a ventilation system, we often come across the terms "VAV", "CAV" and "Constant Pressure Control". In this article I would like to explain what these terms mean exactly, when which option is used and what you need to pay attention to when designing and adjusting an automated ventilation system.>>>

CO poisoning in parking garagesCarbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that mixes with normal air. It remains present for a long time and does not break off spontaneously. Inhaled CO is absorbed into the blood through the lungs, just like oxygen. This disrupts the transport of oxygen to the cells and causes a lack of oxygen.>>>

What are 3-speed control switches and how do they operate?Many motors today are designed to be as flexible as possible when it comes to speed. A three-speed motor has three field windings and a rotor, all in one housing. Each field winding is designed to spin the rotor at a different speed. This enables one motor to be used for a number of different applications. A three-speed motor usually has four wires, the three speed wires and the common wire. Power is supplied to the common wire and any one of the speed wires for a certain speed.>>>

Sensors for demand based ventilation systemsWhich sensors should I use in my building? This is the question that is regularly asked these days with most people spending up to 90 % of their time indoors. Due to Corona and the ever-improving insulation of our buildings, the importance of good ventilation is becoming increasingly clear. Along with this advancing insight, additional questions arise.>>>
