Temperature Probe

A “temperature probe” is a sensor used to measure temperature by converting the heat energy into a measurable electrical signal, and the most common types of temperature sensors within a probe include thermocouples, Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), and thermistors, each with distinct characteristics and applications based on the required accuracy, Temperaturbereich, and response time needed for a specific situation.

‌Definition‌: Ein Temperaturfühler ist ein Gerät zur Messung der Temperatur, besteht normalerweise aus einem empfindlichen Element und einem Messkreis. Das empfindliche Element kann ein Thermoelement sein (pt100, pt1000), ein thermischer Widerstand (ntc, ptc), ein Halbleiter (DS18B20 digital), usw., welches Temperaturänderungen in elektrische Signale umwandeln kann. Dann wird es verstärkt, gefiltert, konvertiert, und von der Messschaltung verarbeitet, und schließlich wird ein zur Temperatur proportionales elektrisches Signal ausgegeben.
‌Working Principle‌: The working principle of the temperature probe is to use the response of the sensitive element to temperature changes to convert temperature changes into electrical signals. Common sensitive elements include thermocouples, thermal resistors, semiconductors, usw. The working principle of the thermocouple is to use the thermoelectric effect of two different metals or alloys. When they are connected together and at different temperatures, an electromotive force proportional to the temperature is generated. The working principle of the thermal resistor is to use the property that the resistance of metal or semiconductor materials changes with temperature. When the temperature changes, the resistance value will also change accordingly. The working principle of semiconductor is to use the property that the conductivity of semiconductor material changes with temperature. When the temperature changes, the conductivity will also change accordingly.
‌Type‌: The types of temperature probes mainly include thermocouple probes, thermal resistor probes, semiconductor probes, usw. Thermocouple probes use thermocouples as sensitive elements, and have the characteristics of wide measurement range, fast response speed, and high precision. Thermal resistor probes use thermal resistors as sensitive elements, and have the characteristics of high measurement accuracy, gute Stabilität, and strong anti-interference ability. Semiconductor probes use semiconductors as sensitive elements, and have the characteristics of small size, Leicht, and low power consumption.
‌Application fields‌: Temperature probes are widely used in industry, scientific research, medizinische Versorgung, environmental protection and other fields. Such as temperature measurement and control in chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, electricity, pharmaceutical, food and other industries.

Temperatursensor
‌Definition‌: A temperature sensor is a device that can convert temperature changes into electrical signals. It usually consists of a sensitive element and a signal processing circuit. Das empfindliche Element kann ein Thermoelement sein, thermischer Widerstand, semiconductor, usw. The signal processing circuit can be an analog circuit, a digital circuit, usw., which together complete the acquisition, processing and output of temperature signals.
‌Working principle‌: The working principle of the temperature sensor is similar to that of the temperature probe. It also uses the response of the sensitive element to the temperature change to convert the temperature change into an electrical signal. Jedoch, the temperature sensor usually has a more complex signal processing circuit, which can perform more advanced processing on the temperature signal, such as digital conversion, data storage, communication, usw.
‌Type‌: The types of temperature sensors mainly include analog temperature sensors, digital temperature sensors, and intelligent temperature sensors. Analog temperature sensors output analog signals, which need to be converted into digital signals through analog-to-digital converters. Digital temperature sensors directly output digital signals, and have the characteristics of strong anti-interference ability, hohe Präzision, and easy integration. Intelligent temperature sensors have functions such as self-diagnosis, self-calibration, and communication, and can realize remote monitoring and control.
‌Features‌: The temperature sensor has the characteristics of high measurement accuracy, gute Stabilität, starke Anti-Interferenz-Fähigkeit, and easy integration. Different types of temperature sensors have different characteristics, such as analog temperature sensors require analog-to-digital converters, digital temperature sensors directly output digital signals, and intelligent temperature sensors have functions such as self-diagnosis, self-calibration, and communication.
