Temperature Sensors - Thermostats - Mechanical - Industrial is an electronic component used to measure environmental temperature. Thus, it converts the input signal into an electronic signal to store, control or monitor signal temperature variations. There are several more types of temperature sensors.
How Does a Thermostat Work as a Temperature Sensor?
A bi-metallic strip made of two different metals, such as nickel, copper, tungsten, or aluminum, among others, is what makes up a thermostat, an electromechanical temperature sensor, or a switch. When the strip is heated, the differing linear expansion rates of the two dissimilar metals cause a mechanical bending action.
The bi-metallic strip is frequently used to control hot water heating elements in boilers, furnaces, hot water storage tanks, as well as in-vehicle radiator cooling systems. It can be used as an electrical switch on its own or as a mechanical method of operating an electrical switch in thermostatic controls.
What are the Types of Temperature Sensors – Thermostats?
Several types of distinct temperature sensors are made available, all of them characterized by different features reliant on their actual uses. A temperature sensor comprises two fundamental types.
Contact Temperature Sensor Types
These types of temperature sensors are crucial for contact in a physical with the help of an object being detected and make use of conveyance to control variation in temperature. They are designed for solids, fluids, or gasses over a broad range of temperatures.
Non-Contact Temperature Sensor Types
These temperature sensors track temperature changes by convection and radiation. They can be used to identify liquids and gasses that generate radiant energy as heat rises and cold sinks in convection currents, or they can identify infrared radiation that is being transmitted from an item.
