A pellet stove is a device used to heat or calcine solid pellets, usually used in industrial production and laboratories. During the operation of a pellet stove, a temperature sensor is a very important component used to measure the temperature inside the furnace to ensure temperature control and stability inside the furnace.
For a pellet stove, choosing a suitable temperature sensor is very critical. According to the materials and operating requirements of the pellet stove, common types of temperature sensors include thermocouples and thermistors. Below we will introduce the application of these two sensor types in pellet stoves respectively.
热电偶是一种常用的温度传感器,基于两种不同金属之间的热电效应. 热电偶测量范围宽、稳定性好, 适用于高温环境下的温度测量. 颗粒炉通常需要测量更高的温度, 所以热电偶是常见的选择. 常见的热电偶类型包括K型, N型, 和S型, 可在不同温度范围内提供精确的温度测量.
In addition to thermocouples, thermistors are also common temperature sensors, which measure temperature based on the characteristics of the material’s resistance changing with temperature. In pellet stoves, commonly used thermistor materials include platinum resistors and nickel resistors. Platinum resistors have high measurement accuracy and stability, and are suitable for a wide temperature range. Nickel resistors are suitable for lower temperature ranges, but their prices are relatively low, making them suitable for some occasions with higher economic requirements.

For pellet stoves, the specific selection of temperature sensors also requires other factors to be considered, such as sensor size, response time, anti-interference ability, ETC. 此外, it is also necessary to consider the specific process requirements of the pellet stove and the requirements of the monitoring system. 一般来说, 100k sensors are more sensitive and can detect a wider temperature range, while 50k sensors are more stable and reliable. The specific choice of sensor depends on the specific needs and design requirements of the pellet stove.
In short, pellet stoves usually need to measure higher temperatures, and common types of temperature sensors include thermocouples and thermistors. The specific selection of temperature sensors requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including measurement range, accuracy requirements, process requirements, ETC. It is recommended to select temperature sensors under the guidance of suppliers or professionals.
