In high-risk industries such as petrochemicals, energy and power, and metal smelting, the accuracy and safety of temperature monitoring are directly related to production continuity and personnel safety. As an intelligent device that integrates temperature sensing, signal conversion, and explosion-proof protection, the integrated explosion-proof thermistor has become a core component of industrial automation control due to its high precision, strong anti-interference ability, and intrinsic safety characteristics.

1、 Technical principles and structural advantages

The core of the integrated explosion-proof thermistor is to integrate the platinum thermistor element and temperature transmitter into the explosion-proof box, and achieve safety protection through the principle of gap explosion-proof. The protective tube is made of nickel based high-temperature alloy steel650-1000℃High strength and corrosion resistance can still be maintained in the environment, coupled with a conical structure design, to enhance temperature sensitivity30%The above. The explosion-proof box integrates voltage stabilization filtering, nonlinear correction, andV/IConversion circuit, converting resistance signal into4-20mAStandard current output, improved anti-interference ability compared to traditional equipment50%The transmission distance can reach1000Rice.

Typical products such as Anhui Tiankang Group's explosion-proof thermistor, whose explosion-proof box passes through0.5mmThe gap between the joint surfaces achieves flameout cooling, with an explosion-proof rating of up todIIBT4, can withstand1.5Explosion shock at twice the rated pressure. Modular design supports quick on-site replacement and improves maintenance efficiency40%.

Petrochemical industry
In the catalytic cracking unit, the integrated explosion-proof thermistor monitors the reactor temperature in real-time. When the temperature exceeds520℃At this time, the system automatically triggers the interlock to cut off the feeding. After a certain refining enterprise applied the equipment, the equipment failure rate caused by overheating decreased75%Annual savings in maintenance costs exceed200Ten thousand yuan.

Energy and power industry
