Hydrogen refuelling: Temperature influences the filling process
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsHydrogen is playing an increasingly important role as an alternative energy source, including as a climate-friendly fuel for motor vehicles. Its physicochemical properties make the supply of H 2 to cars and commercial vehicles a challenge for measurement technology. …
Using a multipoint thermocouple to produce sustainable aviation fuel
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsWaste is valuable. Solid municipal waste, such as packaging, paper or food, can be used to produce fuel for aircraft, for example. During the production process, the control of exothermic reactions requires reliable and precise temperature monitoring. This requires a …
New Food: Biomass fermentation harbours complex measuring requirements
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsAccording to UN forecasts, ten billion people will be living on Earth by 2050. The food industry must find new ways to ensure that the growing world population can be fed sustainably. One of these is New Food. This involves biotechnological food ingredients produced …
Switch contacts make pressure gauges and thermometers “active”
Christoph Strebel | Know-howSwitch contacts in pressure gauges and mechanical thermometers significantly extend the functionality of the measuring instruments. They enable limit value monitoring in addition to on-site indication. Such instruments with switch contacts are therefore an important …
