What do contact temperature sensors make?
A sensor that you also know as a sensor or surface sensor is a temperature sensor that you attach to or on a desired surface, such as pipes, tanks or machine parts. Here the investment sensor does not detect the temperature that you can read quickly and without delay.
In the case of low pipe diameters and in many other cases, as a sensor is the first choice. Thanks to its compact design and its smart functionality, the measuring instruments can easily be created on curved or prism -shaped areas and pass on their measured values to you. With a feeler, you keep control of flow temperatures and thus reduce the risk of disorders.
What are the advantages of a feeler?
One of the biggest advantages of investment temperature sensors is that to measure a temperature, thanks to the non-invasive measurement, you do not have to disturb the process itself. Complicated introductions or seals are not necessary. In addition to the simple handling, the assembly is also used Jam or Magnet possible without much effort. In this way, measurements can also be carried out if it were too complex or dangerous to penetrate the system.
High -quality sensitors from our house grasp temperatures and temperature changes directly, which enables them to be able to react quickly in an emergency. Another advantage is the flexibility of in -depth temperature sensors, as they are suitable for a variety of surfaces. Self -curved or inclined areas are not a problem. Once attached, they are able to measure a wide range of temperatures, which makes it extremely interesting for many industries, especially for those in which media circulate with high degrees in systems.
Ultimately, the attractive price-performance ratio of sensitors should still be mentioned. In contrast to other temperature sensors, these are cost -effective in the purchase and there is no need for any expensive installation devices or special protective covers.
Where are the areas of application of a feeler?
It should be emphasized that the sensitors are suitable for a very bandwidth of areas of application. In this context, an investment is worth again. They are even indispensable in many technology and industry industries.
But like to give yourself an overview.
The flexibility of guiding temperature sensors makes it ideal for temperature monitoring in a variety of industries. In industry, for example, they are used for
- Monitoring of motor winding temperatures in electric motors
- Measurement of the surface temperature on pipelines in process systems
- Temperature control of heating plates and ligaments in plastic processing
- Monitoring of storage housing temperatures in mechanical gearbox
- Temperature measurement on boiler and oven walls in energy generation systems
- Security monitoring for overheating in battery management systems
- Quality control in food processing through surface temperature monitoring
- Maintenance and error diagnostics in automation technology through precise temperature measurements
In the area of heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology (HLK), the following areas are among the common applications of feelers:
- Temperature monitoring of radiators and heat exchangers
- Regulation and monitoring the flow temperatures in heating systems
- Recording of the temperature in climate channels for air flow control
- Monitoring of the condenser temperature in cooling systems
- Measurement of the pipe temperature in district heating networks
- Control of the surface temperature of steam pipes
- Measurement and monitoring of the temperature of solar thermal systems
This versatility of sensitors enables precise control and regulation of temperature-dependent processes and contributes to increasing efficiency and energy saving.
Non-invasive vs. invasive measurement
Compared to invasive measurement methods such as diving temperature sensors, which are inserted directly into the medium, investment temperature sensors are not inferred, i.e. only on the surface of the measuring point. Feeling sensors therefore do without interference in the system to be measured. This facilitates installation and maintenance and avoids contamination risks or system interruptions. Due to your non-invasive nature, you reduce the risk of leakage or other damage to the system. This predestines them for areas of application, where hygiene or system integrity are of the top importance.
On the other hand, non-invasive measurements can be more easily influenced by the ambient temperature or air currents, which can lead to potential inaccuracies. The measurement accuracy depends largely on the correct attachment and the heat transfer between the sensor and the surface. Air columns or poor heat transfer can lead to misalignments.
Optimal installation conditions
In order to obtain precise measurements, the correct installation of the poll temperature sensors is crucial. The use of thermal paste can contribute significantly to improve the heat transfer between the sensor surface and the measuring object. The paste minimizes air column and ensures minimal thermal resistance. In addition, the sensor should be isolated against ambient influences in order to prevent the radiation from radiation from environmental heat and to ensure measurement accuracy.
Available output signals from feelers
Investment temperature sensors are available in different types, which are selected to the measurement task depending on the area of application and requirements. The most common types include feelers with an analog output, resistance thermometer and thermo elements.
Feeling sensors with analog output
These sensitors convert the measured temperature into an analog signal, typically in the form of electricity or voltage (e.g. 4-20 MA or 0-10 V). They are ideal for simple temperature monitoring tasks in which the signal is sent directly to a corresponding display or control device. The uncomplicated transmission technology makes it robust towards disorders and widespread in industry.
Resistance thermometer
Resistance thermometers are an ideal choice, especially in areas where high precision is important. These use the property that the electrical resistance of a metal (often platinum) changes with the temperature. The classic designs, such as PT100 or PT1000 sensors, offer high measurement accuracy and can be found in many industrial and HLK applications due to their stability and accuracy.
Each of these types of guides has its own advantages and characteristics, which determine the selection depending on the application purpose and the associated requirements for accuracy, measuring area, response time and environmental influences. At Seikom Electronic you will find a wide range of polled temperature sensors that are adapted to your specific needs to ensure optimal performance and reliability in your systems.
