Infrared temperature sensors, used for many years in process control and manufacturing, are now accepted for use in passenger vehicles. Production, reliability and cost issues had to be solved. In ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

Many of the older fractional horsepower refrigeration systems, such as reach-in coolers or prep table coolers, use a mechanical constant cut-in control to regulate the air temperature within the case.

This article details six essential sensors, along with four necessary questions a design engineer should ask before choosing which ones to use in their next design. In the R&D and electronics design ...

With the addition of an integrated conduit fitting, the 1/2-in. TT420Z-LT and TT420S-LT models are now compatible with a wider variety of sensing applications. Plus, all models arrive ready to use, ...

To understand the concept of a remote temperature sensor and how it differs from a local temperature sensor, it’s best to first review some basics of temperature-sensor ICs. A silicon ...

I like to think of engineers as doctors of the electronics world. Let me explain: Think about the last time an optometrist examined your “human sensors.” Did they prescribe glasses to compensate for ...

I've got a storeroom in a garage that has some stuff in it that is a little more temperature sensitive, and has more variability than I'd like (it also has some equipment that generates a bit of heat, ...
