Temperature sensor (definition)

temperature sensor is a device designed to measure and control temperature in various systems and processes. In the context of heating systems, temperature sensors play a key role in maintaining optimal temperature conditions and equipment operating efficiency.

Installation locations:

1. Indoors - to control air temperature and regulate heating.
2. On pipelines — for measuring the temperature of the coolant (water, antifreeze) in the heating system.
3. In boilers and boilers — for monitoring and controlling the heating temperature.
4. On the street — in weather-compensated automation systems for measuring outside temperature.

Types of temperature sensors:

1. Thermistors (RTD) - change resistance depending on temperature. The most common types: Pt100, Pt1000.
2. Thermocouple - create electrical voltage depending on temperature. Popular types: K, J, T.
3. Semiconductor sensors — use the properties of semiconductor materials to measure temperature.
4. Infrared sensors (pyrometers) — measure temperature at a distance by registering infrared radiation from an object.
5. Bimetallic sensors - they use two metals with different coefficients of thermal expansion, which causes the plate to bend when the temperature changes.

Execution options:

1. Immersion sensors — installed inside pipelines or tanks for direct contact with the coolant.
2. Surface sensors — attached to the surface of pipes or equipment to measure temperature without contact with the liquid.
3. Outdoor sensors — placed outside buildings to measure outside temperature in weather-dependent automation systems.
4. Cable sensors - flexible and thin, can be used for wrapping around pipes or other objects.
5. Wireless sensors — transmit data over a radio channel, convenient for use in hard-to-reach places or for integration into smart home systems.

Application:

• Heating systems — control and regulation of coolant temperature, indoor air, outdoor temperature.
• Industrial processes — temperature monitoring in various technological processes.
• Household devices — thermostats, air conditioners, household appliances.

Temperature sensors are an integral part of modern automation systems and control, providing accurate measurement and regulation of temperature conditions.
