What is a Temperature Sensor? A temperature sensor is a device that measures the temperature of an object. This can be the temperature of the air, the temperature of […]

Measuring our body temperature is common and not new to us, but have you wondered how we check the temperature of other objects? Our household thermometer is not enough to tell us that, hence we use a temperature sensor, for the same. What is a Temperature Sensor?  A temperature sensor is a device used to

A temperature controller, as the name implies, is a device that regulates the temperature. It accomplishes this by measuring the temperature and comparing it to the required value. The difference between these two numbers is then determined. Temperature controllers are important to ensure safe and effective operation and to prevent damage to any of the

Basics of Ceramic Infrared Heaters Most ceramic heaters consist of Nichrome (NiCr) that are contained within other insulating materials like silicone, mica or magnesium oxide. These materials serve as electrical insulators and also poor conductors of heat. Ceramic infrared heaters come in several shapes and sizes depending on their specific applications. They are manufactured in
