Inhaltsangabe

Advanced Temperature Measurement and Control offers a comprehensive overview of the essential components needed to leverage the latest advancements in smart and wireless temperature measurement and control strategies. It provides a foundational understanding of temperature sensors and recent developments in wireless technology. The influence of sensor types and installation methods on measurement accuracy and speed is clarified. It also offers guidance on choosing between thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors.

This book covers the temperature control requirements for different types of equipment and introduces control systems designed to meet specific temperature control objectives. The appendices feature solutions to exercises, essential data for heat transfer, a unified approach for tuning controllers and equations for estimating process dynamics.
