Typhon Technologies Debuts Its First PFAS-Free Liquid Level Switch by Michael Gary.

Published October thirteenth, twenty twenty-six.

Two-year-old Danish sensor manufacturer Typhon Technologies has unveiled its first liquid level switch that is free of PFAS, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, for refrigeration systems and heat pumps using natural or synthetic refrigerants.

The TTLLSW liquid level switch uses PEEK, polyether ether ketone, in sealing instead of the PFAS known as Teflon or PTFE, polytetrafluoroethylene, said Typhon CEO and co-founder Martin Mozart Ernst.

He described the new switch in an interview with NaturalRefrigerants.com at the manufacturer's booth at Chillventa twenty twenty-six in Nuremberg, where the product was on display.

PFAS comprises a class of more than ten thousand chemicals that have been used in a wide spectrum of industrial applications, with Teflon being a well-known anti-stick substance in cookware.
