Our production and development in many fields are closely related to temperature. Fields such as industrial production, agricultural development, scientific research, national defense, and medicine are all related to temperature. Among them, temperature sensors are important components for achieving temperature detection and control. Temperature sensors are also relatively mature sensors in application and development.
According to the temperature measurement principle of temperature sensors, temperature sensors can be divided into types such as thermocouples, platinum resistors, and thermistors. The thermocouple temperature sensor has the widest range, ranging from -200 ℃ to 2000 ℃, and requires an external reference terminal during use, which is relatively complex. Platinum resistance temperature sensor has high accuracy, wide range, high functional integration, simple peripheral, and can support digital output. Thermistors have lower costs but limited accuracy, and have the characteristics of high temperature coefficient and nonlinear output.
In application scenarios, the thermocouple and platinum resistance schemes have a wide temperature measurement range and rigorous use, making them widely used in industrial sites. Thermistors, due to their low-cost and relatively easy to use characteristics, are mainly used in the water temperature, oil temperature, engine intake temperature, cylinder temperature to exhaust temperature of automobiles, as well as air conditioning, refrigerators, rice cookers, etc. in household appliances and small appliances, which are the main battlefield of thermistors.
The Application of Temperature Sensors in Industry
In industrial production automation processes, temperature measurement points account for about half of all measurement points. For example, in the steel smelting process, accurately controlling the smelting temperature can significantly improve product quality and also save energy and reduce consumption; In petroleum refineries, accurate control of cracking temperature can yield diesel series products of different qualities.
The Application of Temperature Sensors in Home Appliances
In many household appliances, temperature detection is also ubiquitous, such as the detection and control of water temperature in washing machines, the detection and control of refrigeration temperature in refrigerators and air conditioners, the temperature detection and control of electric baking microwaves and disinfection cabinets, and so on. Among them, sudden break temperature sensors are very common in household appliances, including electric water bags, electric kettles, automatic water dispensers, and so on. Their working principle is basically to turn on the power supply for heating. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature has risen to the set value, it will automatically disconnect the power supply to achieve safe use.
Application of temperature sensors in the construction industry
In the construction industry, temperature sensors play a significant role in the solidification and hardening process of concrete. Cracks are common in concrete components, especially in large volume concrete components, which seriously affect the integrity and durability of the structure. The reasons for these are all caused by the temperature stress of the concrete. Therefore, it is of great significance to use temperature sensors to achieve temperature control in large volume concrete.
