The Temperature sensor measures the coolant temperature & sends information to the ECU. The water temperature sensor enables the control unit to identify engine overheating or an unusual rise in temperature. Depending on the car manufacturers, it is usually installed next to the thermostat or inside it. A temperature sensor is a device that detects and measures hotness and coolness and converts it into an electrical signal.
Temperature sensors are devices used to measure temperature in solids, liquids or gases. They are used within industrial applications and have many more commercial uses. Most of the temperature sensors we supply monitor temperature by measuring the change in resistance of an electrical current. Although the temperatures that are monitored vary slightly depending on the details of facility design, temperature detectors are used to provide three basic functions: indication, alarm, and control.
Thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, and semiconductor based ICs are the main types of temperature sensors used today. Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Thermistors. Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) Thermocouples. Semiconductor-Based Sensors. Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin are the three common temperature scales.
