The application of the Firstrate temperature sensor in the automobile industry

The application of the Firstrate temperature sensor in the automobile industry

2016-10-12

As we all know, the application of temperature sensors is very wide, so in the automotive industry, its assembly, what has changed?Install temperature sensors on buses to prevent spontaneous combustion 　　During the high temperature in summer, spontaneous combustion of buses often occurs. How to prevent spontaneous combustion of buses is also extremely important. In order to prevent problems before they happen, the Taiyuan City Bus Company in Shanxi has installed temperature sensors for some buses to ensure the safety of buses. 　　Generally speaking, spontaneous combustion accidents of buses are not unrelated to the long operating life of the vehicles and the aging of internal lines. In general, vehicles with a long operating life and rear-engined vehicles are prone to excessive temperature in the engine compartment and cause fires and other accidents during operation. 　　It is difficult for drivers of rear-engined vehicles to find problems such as excessive engine temperature, so installing a temperature sensor to give an alarm can play a greater role. The bus company installs temperature sensors on some buses. When the engine temperature reaches a set threshold, it will automatically alarm. The installation of temperature sensors can effectively improve various potential safety hazards of the engine, thereby ensuring the safety of driving and the personal safety of passengers. 　　New energy vehicles: energy saving and emission reduction 　　At present, "energy saving and emission reduction" is one of the main directions of global industrial development. On the one hand, it refers to the need to continue research and development of "energy saving and emission reduction" technologies for internal combustion engines; on the other hand, it refers to the need to strengthen the development of new energy vehicles. 　　The sensors used in hybrid/electric vehicles mainly include sensors for detecting battery temperature, temperature sensors for monitoring motors, and temperature sensors for battery cooling systems. The battery of a hybrid/electric vehicle can only provide the best energy output at a precisely defined operating temperature. Therefore, it is required to reliably monitor and adjust the battery temperature to prevent the battery from overheating and maximize its working life. At present, most hybrid/electric vehicle battery designs use NTC temperature sensors to measure their temperature. 　　Electric motors are another basic component of hybrid/electric vehicles. In order to ensure the long life of the motor and its best performance, the temperature of the electric motor also needs to be continuously monitored, and it is as accurate as possible to work in the temperature range above 140℃, so it is also very important to determine the temperature of the stator winding. , This is the only way that the motor can take full advantage of its advantages without the risk of overheating. In order to measure the temperature of the stator, it is also required that the sensor should be easy to install, and to ensure that the sensor is protected from mechanical pressure during installation and operation and has a high dielectric strength. The latter can prevent the driver current circuit from the measuring current circuit. Flashover phenomenon. 　　In addition, in practical applications, since the battery and driver are also important safety components of hybrid/electric vehicles, the reliability and shock resistance requirements of the sensor are also high, which requires the selection of electronic components, process and reliability verification Start with other aspects to provide the best comprehensive solution.     　　Due to the importance of sensors in electronic control systems, in a sense, the competition of advanced cars is the competition of sensors, and countries all over the world attach great importance to its theoretical research, new material application, and product development. 　　The Firstrate temperature sensor has a built-in high-performance digital circuit, which is carefully designed for the working conditions of radio frequency, electromagnetic interference, and surge voltage. It has the characteristics of strong anti-interference ability, wide power supply range, and polarity protection. It conforms to IEC, CE (EMC) ) Standard, with anti-radio frequency and electromagnetic interference. A precise conversion circuit is used to convert the resistance signal into a standard current, voltage or digital signal. 　　The Firstrate temperature sensor has an exquisite structure, the probe and connector are made of 316L stainless steel, and the shell is made of superb laser welding.

Pressure transmitters in the paper industry play different roles at different stages

Pressure transmitters in the paper industry play different roles at different stages

2016-10-09

Pressure transmitter is a commonly used flow measuring instrument, which is widely used in various industries. In the paper industry, pressure transmitter is also one of the indispensable parts. It is almost different in the paper industry. Different types of pressure transmitters are used in the stages. The pressure transmitter is the most frequently used in the entire paper industry, so what is the role of the pressure transmitter in each of the different stages? How does it work? Next, the pressure transmitter manufacturer will come to reveal the answer to everyone!     1. The pressure transmitter is used in the material preparation section.The pressure transmitter is mainly involved in the flow measurement of refining, water and acid or alkali in the pulping process. Generally, the temperature of the slurry after mechanical grinding should reach 80°C. However, when wood or grass materials are used as raw materials for pulping, a cooking process is usually required. Since the cooking liquid is generally alkaline, the lining of the pressure transmitter is mostly high temperature resistant PTFE, and the structure is split. The electrode material must have corrosion resistance, so you need to choose carefully when choosing the electrode material.   2. The pressure transmitter is used in the screening and bleaching section.There are about five kinds of pulp (chemical pulp, deinked pulp, CTMP, mechanical pulp, and damaged liquid pulp) from each material preparation workshop into the papermaking workshop to participate in the pulping process. Here, the temperature of the machine pulp and CTMP pulp is as high as 50 to 80°C, and the pressure transmitter lining material should be PFA or PTEE preferentially.   　　In order to obtain paper of different quality, the slurry ratio can be completed by using different slurry ratio concentrations. However, if the finished product is unqualified due to the fine ultra-tolerance of a slurry, it will cause great losses to the manufacturer. Therefore, the manufacturer pays special attention to this link. Each of the pipelines participating in the proportioning is equipped with a pressure transmitter to measure the instantaneous and total flow into the slurry distribution main pipe. At the same time, the online concentration is installed at the lower end of the slurry pipe Calculated to detect the effect of slurry preparation. If there is a deviation from the expected, adjust the corresponding slurry flow by adjusting the opening of the valve. This requires high accuracy requirements for pressure transmitters, as well as good repeatability and fast dynamic response.   　　Pressure transmitters generally use PTFE or other fluoroplastic linings in the papermaking field: electrodes are selected according to the acidity and alkalinity of the liquid. When selecting electrodes or lining materials, if there is a mismatch, the sensor may not operate normally, so it is very important to select a suitable pressure transmitter in the paper industry. In addition, the factors that affect the accuracy of the sensor include dissatisfied pipes, insufficient length of straight pipes, misalignment during small-diameter installations, and so on.   　　In addition to the above-mentioned paper preparation section and screening and bleaching section as representatives, it is also necessary to select a suitable pressure transmitter from the analysis of the environment of each section, etc., in order to reduce the error of the measurement process and ensure the normal operation of the sensor. The produced paper meets the predetermined requirements.
