You probably know that temperature control is a key way for brewers to ensure consistent, quality beer from one batch to the next. Measuring your evolving beer at its warmest spot ensures that things stay nice and cool during the most active phase of fermentation. The easiest way to measure internal temperature is to use a thermowell.
Did you know 1 degree can mean the difference between a good batch of beer & having to pour it down the drain. Typically a temperature sensor is placed on the wall of the kettle, away from the rake, to correlate what the temperature is throughout the kettle.
When a power plant has to be shut down because of a failed sensor, the cost could run into the millions of dollars. Smart transmitters can tell a plant that a problem exists, where it is and how to fix it — anticipating failures before they occur.
Advanced instrumentation is greatly improving temperature measurement in the power industry. The benefits of using smart transmitters instead of direct wiring includes installation cost savings, reduced downtime and proactive maintenance through the use of advanced diagnostics.
Power plants can generate extremely high temperatures that often cause measurement problems. For example, in energy-from-waste plants, furnace temperature is a critical measurement. Burning the waste at high temperatures minimizes the release of harmful emissions. To accurately record the temperature in the furnace, three or more temperature thermowells are inserted into the furnace directly above the flame.
Problem: Thermowells at a power plant in Poland were breaking because of the Von Karman Trail effect. Solution: A stronger thermowell and a vibration-resistant RTD sensor insert. A thermowell adds considerable cost to the measurement point because the thermowell has to be inserted into the pipe, furnace or vessel.
Did you know that a modern temperature transmitter can be set up with triple redundancy for maximum reliability on critical processes, such as this steam header?
Thermocouples vs RTDs? RTDs are commonly used in applications where accuracy and repeatability are important. RTDs have excellent accuracy of about 0.1ºC and a stable output for a long period of time, but a limited temperature range. A thermocouple can be used for temperatures as high as 3100°F. T/Cs will respond faster to temperature changes than an RTD and are more durable, allowing use in high vibration and shock applications.
