When it comes to measuring liquid levels and temperatures, NTC thermistor probes are one of your best options. They are employed in a wide range of industries that extends from the automotive to the medical sector. They also play a big role in developing green energy systems. Their applications are almost endless. Thermistor probes are identified by three categories, which include:
There is no such thing as a universal NTC thermistor assembly. Given the range of applications, thermistors are available in different shapes and sizes. When selecting thermistors, there are four important areas to consider, which include:
NTC thermistors, although not seen, are found in the places we live and work. From our morning coffee to an evening relaxing in front of the television, thermistors play an important part in daily life. Thermistors
are indispensable for the proper functioning of the cars we drive and the computers we use for work. When preparing food, NTC thermistor probes are found in the appliances we use to prepare food.
Thermistors offer high sensitivity, interchangeability, and high accuracy performance, so they are often used in the medical field. For instance, a respirator relies largely on thermistors. The air the enters a patient's lungs must be exactly 37 °C (the same as body temperature). Temperature sensing devices in the machine analyze air temperature and then send signals to the respirator, regulating a consistent temperature.
