Temperature Sensor Applications Temperature Sensors are part of our product range at Ixthus. They are used within every industry to monitor the temperature. There are many different temperature sensor applications and a different temperature sensor to suit each one. What is a Temperature Sensor? Temperature sensors are devices used to measure temperature in solids, liquids or gases. They are used within industrial applications and have many more commercial uses. Most of the temperature sensors we supply monitor temperature by measuring the change in resistance of an electrical current. Temperature Sensor Applications Temperature sensors are all around us, monitoring temperature is a vital process in many fields and needs to be measured in a highly accurate and efficient way. Some temperature sensor applications are; Motorsport and other vehicles – within motorsports there are many temperature sensor applications. These include; ensuring motors do not overheat, surface plate temperature, exhaust gas temperature, oil temperature etc Industrial equipment – most machinery used within industrial equipment and manufacturing will contain a temperature sensor for safety reasons. Temperature sensors used within this environment are required to be highly robust and resistant to dirt and moisture. Medical Applications – Temperature sensors are used for patient monitoring as well as within machines and devices for a range of medical procedures. To be used in this industry temperature sensors will require various safety standards and approvals. Food and Beverage Industry – temperature sensors are used within this environment as part of food safety standards, ensuring food is kept at the correct temperature. They are also used on various manufacturing equipment used within this sector. Home appliances and white goods – many appliances within the home will contain a temperature sensor; oven, toaster, kettles, washing machines, coffee machines, dishwashers, electric radiators, boilers etc. Computers and devices– temperature sensors are used within computers and other devices to ensure they do not overheat and become dangerous.
