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 …
RTD vs. Thermocouple: When To Use Each Product
Gabriel Gonzales | Know-how, TemperatureTemperature sensors are essential measuring instruments for ensuring the safety and efficiency of countless industrial processes. While RTDs and thermocouples both provide accuracy and reliability, each has pros and cons that make them better suited for particular …
The Value of Using Averaging Resistance Temperature Detectors in HVAC Applications
Patrick McGrath | TemperatureWhen it comes to HVAC temperature measurements, a single point sometimes is not enough. An averaging RTD measures temperature along a duct or across a sectional area, resulting in more accurate information about the overall conditions inside HVAC units. …
Instruments for Electrical Temperature Measurement: How to Choose the Right One (Part 2)
Gabriel Gonzales | Know-howPart 1 of this series covered three of the seven factors to consider when choosing the right RTD or thermocouple for a measuring point in a process. Here are the remaining four factors. Like the internal process, ambient conditions often significantly impact …
