Blaze was approached by an eco-conscious manufacturer specializing in intelligent kitchen ventilation systems. Their challenge was two-fold: they needed a low-cost RTD sensor to swiftly detect grease flare-ups and temperature anomalies in kitchen hoods, which consistently face high-temperature and grease-filled conditions. Additionally, they aimed to automate these systems based on temperature readings, ensuring both energy efficiency and cost savings for their customers.
In response, Blaze collaborated with the manufacturer to create a custom, cost-effective resistance temperature detector (RTD). This sensor efficiently identified grease flare-ups and temperature surges, enabling the automation of the kitchen systems. Serving as a testament to its effectiveness and durability, this RTD has been a staple in these kitchen systems since 2004.
