  6. Temperature Monitoring - RTD • Advantages: • Most Accurate • High linearity over limited temperature range (-40oC to +85oC) • Wide usable temperature range 2009 European FAE Summit, Munich

  7. Temperature Monitoring - RTD • Disadvantages: • Limited resistance • Low sensitivity • Lead wire resistance may introduce errors • Requires linearization for wide range • Wire wound RTDs tend to be fragile • Cost is high compared to a thermistor 2009 European FAE Summit, Munich

  8. Temperature Monitoring - Thermocouple Source: Datapaq • Thermocouple: temperature element based on two dissimilar metals • The junction of two dissimilar metals creates an open circuit voltage that is proportional to temperature • Direct measurement is difficult because each junction will have it’s own voltage drop 2009 European FAE Summit, Munich

  9. Temperature Monitoring - Thermocouple Source: Agilent • Reference (Cold) Junction Compensation • Voltage is proportional to Temperature • V = (V1 – V2) ~= α(tJ1 – tJ2) • If we specify TJ1 in degrees Celsius: TJ1(C) + 273.15 = tJ1(K) • V becomes: V = V1 – V2 = α[(TJ1 + 273.15) – (TJ2 + 273.15)] = α(TJ1– TJ2 ) = (TJ1 – 0) V = αTJ1 2009 European FAE Summit, Munich
