Reliable temperature transmitter for Demanding Industrial Applications

Temperature transmitter solutions for demanding industrial applications. The DR4431 High Temperature Sensor delivers reliable performance.

Problem: In our manufacturing plant, a critical industrial oven with a maximum temperature of 500°C was prone to sensor failures every six months. The last failure cost us $7,500 in downtime and material waste.
Physics: Standard electronics fail above 85°C due to thermal expansion and insulation breakdown. Our oven’s high-temperature environment posed a significant challenge for traditional sensors. Remote probe design is crucial here; it keeps the sensitive electronics cool while allowing accurate temperature sensing at extreme temperatures.
Investigation/Discovery: We conducted a thorough analysis of sensor data, which showed erratic readings before complete failure. Upon reviewing our setup and consulting with DR4431’s technical documentation, we realized that its remote probe design was key to solving this problem.
Solution: We installed the DR4431 high-temperature sensor in our industrial oven. The remote probe design ensures that the electronics remain at a safe temperature while accurately measuring temperatures up to 500°C. This change reduced sensor failures by 90%, saving us $7,500 annually in maintenance and downtime.
