Temperature transmitters are used in industrial manufacturing as a means of process control because they can provide feedback regarding temperature during different stages in the manufacturing process. In order to do this, a temperature transmitter picks up a signal generated by a temperature sensor, such as a thermocouple, and then uses the signal to calculate…
In the past, the room air temperature was the only measurement required in a room. Over the years, studies have shown other parameters, such as humidity, carbon dioxide, ambient light intensity, and others, also affect the productivity and comfort of the occupants of a room. Increasing the number of parameters has led to a new…
The term temperature sensor refers to a class of devices that provide a measurement of the temperature of objects, and either display a reading directly or produce an output signal whose value can be translated into a temperature reading. Temperature is a fundamental measurement of thermal energy and can be thought of as a measure…
Highlighting that efficient operation of industrial HVAC and chiller equipment depends upon optimum temperatures of refrigerant and lubricating oil, this paper states that negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors of various resistance values are the most common sensors used for efficient operation. It presents durability, and quick response to temperature change as the advantages of thermistor,…
Greenhouse offers a controlled environment for growing plants. So a grower can check temperature, humidity or air circulation at any time and adjust as necessary. There are 7 types of greenhouse sensors you can use to do so. Although primarily you should be monitoring greenhouse temperature and humidity with thermometer and hygrometer, it is very…
Any farmer will tell you that the conditions of the soil change constantly throughout the growing season. The soil conditions are influenced by the weather, row density, crop patterns, and more. During this period, the plants are continuously changing and adapting to the environment. The plant’s roots and shoots grow in soil most advantageous to…
The soil temperature sensor is demanded by the horticultural sector to know the temperature at different depths in addition to other crops such as grass in the garden. This new data will allow controlling the temperature in the soil and subsoil and comparing the data with the ambient temperature and other parameters. Soil temperature sensor…
The slightest measurement errors can cause great damage to manufacturer, such as the product recall of entire production runs or expensive downtime, and then there is the damage to the brand reputation. One such area of paramount importance is accurate and stable temperature measurements. Analytical measuring sensors assist in the monitoring and control of these…
American households spend hundreds of dollars each month purchasing fresh, frozen, and prepared foods from grocery stores, supermarkets, and other specialty food stores. From start to finish, food goes through many steps before it is sold to customers. Depending on whether it is hot or cold, there are even more steps during the preparation process.…
In the age of Industry 4.0, professionals in many industries are going to great lengths to identify production-enhancing insights from their data. These insights help increase efficiency throughout operations, increasing uptime and cutting maintenance costs, but adoption in the food & beverage (F&B) industry is trailing others (Fig. 1). Fig. 1: A 2020 Accenture global…
