Temperature transmitter
18 Dec 2013
ABB has developed a standalone, self-powered temperature transmitter with WirelessHART, offering a cost effective and maintenance-free alternative to wired or battery-powered devices.
Wireless instruments are designed to offer the ideal solution wherever it may be costly or impractical to run cabling.
Battery-powered WirelessHART technology allows for quick and simple instrument installation to allow operators to monitor new process information to improve plant visibility.
Featuring a built-in thermoelectric generator (TEG), the device uses the Seebeck Effect to harvest electrical energy from thermal energy.
The temperature difference between the ambient and the pipe temperature produces a voltage difference, which is then used to power the device.
