TCR6 Temperature Measuring Sensor

Monitoring of cooling circuits, pumps and compressors, marine industries

The TCR6 is a Thermocouple type sensor and behaves according to the Seebeck effect which describes the production of a charge shift on a conductor when there is a temperature difference along it. The magnitude of the charge shift depends on the material and its electric properties. If there is a conductive connection between two conductors made of different materials on one side and a temperature difference exists there, voltage is applied at the open ends. This voltage depends on the temperature difference and the electric properties of both materials; since they and their characteristics are known, the temperature can be measured via the voltage.
