4. Functionality
The SETEKHL air probe operates on the thermoelectric principle of a Type K thermocouple, where two dissimilar metals (Nickel-Chromium and Nickel) generate a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between the measuring junction (at the probe tip) and the reference junction (at the instrument input).
Working Principle:
- The probe tip, located at the end of the stainless-steel sheath, senses the air temperature.
- The thermoelectric voltage is transmitted through the internal conductors and spiral cable to the measuring device.
- The connected instrument interprets the voltage according to the Type K thermocouple standard and displays the corresponding temperature.
Use Cases and Applications:
- HVAC and Building Technology: Airflow and duct temperature measurement, calibration of thermostats, and ventilation system diagnostics.
- Industrial Process Monitoring: Temperature checks in drying, heating, or cooling processes.
- Laboratory and Research: Controlled environment testing, climate chamber monitoring, and experimental setups.
- Quality Assurance: Verification of temperature conditions in production or storage areas.
- Maintenance and Service: Portable temperature measurement for inspection and troubleshooting.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with all thermometers, data loggers, and controllers supporting Type K thermocouple input.
- Can be used with handheld digital thermometers, multichannel data acquisition systems, or process control units.
