Precise temperature control bears great potential for conserving energy, avoiding critical plant conditions and maintaining product quality. If the response time of the sensors is too slow, operators may need to adjust the process parameter tolerance windows. If not, the process is not running at peak efficiency and energy may be wasted. Response time can be an issue, particularly when a direct contact thermometer cannot be used and a thermowell must be used.
Benefits
- Up to 2x faster response times
- Bridging the airgap between insert and barstock thermowells for optimized thermal coupling
- Suitable for thermowell bore ⌀ 6,5 and 7 mm (0.26 inches)
- For temperatures up to 400 °C (752 °F)
Endress+Hauser has developed an insert with a special spring component for fast response times in combination with barstock thermowells. The patented QuickSleeve design provides up to two times faster response times compared to conventional combinations of insert and barstock thermowells by eliminating the air gap between the sensor and the thermowell walls. The temperature probe benefits from the best possible thermal connection to the process.
