KRIWAN Industrie-Elektronik GmbH is known for its highly developed electronics and sensor solutions in industrial drive technology such as refrigerant compressors, pumps, fans and motors as well as wind measurement technology.

The Kriwan INT276 and INT278 provide the same type of protection (optical fluid level monitoring) These devices belong to the same product family and are designed for contactless single-point measurement of liquid levels (typically oil or refrigerant).

How INT276 and INT 278 work: They use infrared light pulses. If the sensor tip is submerged in oil, the light refracts into the fluid. If the oil drops too low and gas surrounds the tip, the light reflects back inside the sensor, triggering a low-level alarm.

The Kriwan Delta P2 (Delta-P II) provides a completely different type of protection (differential oil pressure switching). The Kriwan Delta P2 monitors the physical performance of an internal oil pump in reciprocating or screw compressors, rather than static oil height.

How Delta P2 works: It measures the actual mechanical pressure difference (Δ P) between the high-pressure discharge side of the oil pump and the suction side/crankcase pressure.

Direct Comparison Between INT276 / INT278 & Delta P2
INT276 / INT278 Delta P2 (Delta-P II)
Protection Category Liquid Level Monitoring (Height/Presence) Mechanical Pump Lubrication Performance
Primary Metric Is there oil touching the tip? (Yes/No) Is the oil pump generating enough force?
Technology Optical Infrared Light Refraction Piston Displacement & Magnetic Hall Sensor
Typical Compressor Scroll / Semi-hermetic (Static sump checking) Compressors equipped with an active oil pump
Interchangeability Yes, shares similar optical glass sight-glass adapters. No, requires a dedicated mechanical differential port.
