Temperature sensor becomes the basic point for the development of electric power industry

In recent years, the process of industrial modernization and the continuous growth of the electronic information industry in China have also driven the rapid increase in the demand for the entire sensor market in China. The investment boom has caused many immature companies to join in, which has intensified the market for temperature sensors to varying degrees. "Mid-fighting," the result is: a large number of temperature sensors, the company's small-scale production and decentralization, the industry concentration is low. Corresponding domestic market "price war" also unexpectedly. Enterprises urgently need to upgrade and upgrade.

In fact, in addition to upgrading product performance, the industry is really committed to providing lower-cost temperature sensors. For example, the TMP006, a non-contact infrared temperature sensor chip released by Texas Instruments in the middle of this year, is priced 1/25 to 1/8 lower than existing temperature sensors. However, the TMP006's package area is reduced by 95%, and its power consumption is also reduced by 90%. Its TMP103, the industry's smallest and lowest-power digital temperature sensor, is even more power-savvy than the closest competitor. 97%, volume reduction 75%. This seems to be passing on a new signal in the industry: miniaturization, high precision, low power consumption or will be a new trend in the development of new temperature sensors.

Electricity is the most widely used secondary energy in modern society, and the electric power industry is an important basic industry and public utility related to the national economy and people’s livelihood. It goes without saying that the sensor is equivalent to the visual nerve of the electric power industry and is an important guarantee for safe and reliable operation of electric power and stable supply of quality and quantity.

In the power production process, temperature measurement and control are very important. Accurate measurement of temperature parameters is critical to the output quality, production efficiency, and safe and reliable operation of electrical energy. At present, non-traditional infrared temperature sensors, such as advanced infrared thermometers, have gradually begun to be used in power production and overhaul processes to replace traditional thermocouples and thermoelectric thermoelectric temperature sensors in order to realize the power production process or important equipment. Temperature monitoring and control.
