• Introduction
• Temperature sensors
• Temperature measurement and control
• Alarm and safety
• Boilers temperature control
• Need of temperature measurement
3. Introduction
• Whatever the process or the parameter (temperature, flow,
speed for example), the principles of control are similar.
• Input and output signals are specified as appropriate to the
application, usually Analog (e.g. thermocouples signal input,
solid state output power control) but these may be digital.
• Temperature controlling:
1. Temperature measurement.
2. Temperature Control.
8. Alarm and safety
• In case of over and under temperature occurrences, they
should never be relied upon for plant safety.
• If there is any possibility that component or sensor failure
could result in heating power being permanently applied
instead of regulated then a completely independent over-
temperature alarm should be utilised.
