Description
The sensor is used to measure the current temperature of the hot utility water tank (DHW). Used for both screw and piston feeders. Its task is to inform about too high temperature of the feeder. The measuring element is quite well-known and popular KTY 81-210. This element works on the principle of changing the resistance under the influence of temperature changes. This information is then processed by the controller. It is mounted on the inlet pipe to the water tank. In older types of regulators, DHW sensors with a digital measuring element DS18B20 were used.
