Exergen Global has rebranded itself as CleverIR as it diversifies its focus of providing infrared temperature-measuring solutions for industrial applications.

Successful control of your cooling process and selection of a suitable control require a good understanding of the flow of heat in that process. No matter how intelligent or elaborate a control is, it cannot overcome the limits of basic thermodynamics in a system or process.

In high temperature applications, monitoring the temperature — by measuring the temperature of the tubes inside the industrial furnace, boiler or oven — is critical.

When configuring a new process temperature measurement, many users like to begin by working through a classic engineering question: Should I use a thermocouple (TC) or resistance temperature detector (RTD)? 

Discover how you can improve responsiveness, efficiency and downtime from your chamber-based process systems with UDC Controllers, using Chamber IQ from Honeywell.

Rapid growth and innovation in the past decade have enabled companies to implement key technologies to monitor, analyze, control and automate their assets. Wireless resistance temperature detectors, or wireless RTDs, have bridged the gap from decades of hardware to remotely connected devices. 

Duct-mounted EE850 measures CO₂ concentration up to 10,000 ppm (1 percent) as well as relative humidity and temperature. Suited for use as process control, the three-in-one sensor has a dewpoint temperature and a passive temperature output.

Now that you have a general idea of the types of heaters that are available, how will you go about specifying the right one for your application?

Winters Instruments, Toronto, Ontario, extended its five-year warranty to cover all products effective immediately. This includes its thermometers, temperature sensors, valves, thermowells, pressure gauges, pressure transmitters, pressure switches, diaphragm seals and all accessories.
