Temperature sensors

Temperature Sensors

Temperature is playing a vital role in many industrial processes and therefore an accurate measurement is a must. Non-accurate temperatures can cause big fatal consequences such as reducing the lifetime of your equipment if overheated with just a few degrees. The Danfoss range includes temperature sensors, and transmitters, and helps you make a difference on the bottom line.

Features:

  • High degree of protection against moisture
  • Measuring temperatures – 50° C to 800° C
  • Fixed or changeable measuring insert
  • Pt 100 / Pt 1000 resistance element, NTC / PTC and Thermocouples
  • Built-in transmitter available
  • Available with marine approvals

Principles of function - temperature sensors

A temperature sensor is giving a continuous output following the actual temperature in the system, making it possible to have the process in tight control.
The output signal from the sensor can be:

  • Ohm, RTD, NTC/PTC
  • Voltage, Thermocouples
  • mA/Voltage, transmitters

depending on which sensing technology is needed.
The Danfoss range is featuring three sensing technologies:

  • RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector): Pt 100 or Pt 1000, both accurate, stable and covering a broad temperature range. Our RTD’s are based on a thin film element which ensures good durability and fast response time.
  • NTC/PTC (Negatvie/Positive Temperature Characteristic): Customized output signal and price competitive elements mostly used in OEM business.
  • Thermocouples: Suited for very high temperatures and mechanically very stable.
