Improving Olefin Production Efficiency with Coil Outlet Temperature (COT) Measurement
Robert Torgerson | Applications, TemperatureAt the 2025 AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers) Spring Meeting, Alina Green presented WIKA's unique R&D evaluation of critical ethylene steam cracker coil outlet temperature (COT) sensor designs and installation best practices. The following is …
Data Center Cooling: Pressure, Temperature, and Flow Sensors for Coolant Distribution Units
Lorenzo Avitabile | Applications, Flow, Level, Pressure, TemperatureData centers generate enormous heat loads, and the coolant distribution units (CDUs) managing that heat rely on precise, real-time measurement to function safely. Here's how pressure, temperature, flow, and level sensors keep CDUs performing under demand. A typical …
Case Study: IIoT Temperature Monitoring for Vineyard Frost Protection
Pete Miramontes | Applications, TemperatureThe Industrial Internet of Things is useful for more than just manufacturing. A vineyard in southern Germany discovered the value of implementing an IIoT frost warning system designed and assembled by WIKA. Ever since agriculture arose about 12,000 years ago, …
Sanitary Temperature Sensors Contribute to a Hygienic Food Production Environment
Gabriel Gonzales | Applications, TemperatureAccurate temperature measurement and reliable monitoring throughout a food production facility help create a more hygienic environment, one where harmful bacteria do not proliferate. Made in the greater Houston area, WIKA’s hygienic temperature sensors come with fast …
