Thermopile sensor is a thermal infrared sensor, which thermopile element , made by MEMS technology, receives infrared rays emitted by an object and produces a thermoelectromotive force depending on amount of incident energy. Thermopile sensor enable you to measure absolute temperature of the surface of the object by non-contacting.
Thermosäulen-Infrarot (IR) Sensoren. Thermosäulen dienen zur Messung einer Temperatur aus einem gewissen Abstand durch Erfassung der Infrarotstrahlung eines Objekts. Je höher die Temperatur des Objekts, desto stärker ist die von diesem Objekt abgegebene Infrarotstrahlung. Das aus kleinen Thermoelementen auf einem Silizium-Chip bestehende Messelement der Thermosäule nimmt die …
Thermopile sensors are designed to measure temperature from a distance by detecting an object's infrared (IR) energy. The higher the temperature, the more IR energy is emitted. The thermopile sensing element, composed of small thermocouples on a silicon chip, absorb the …

different types of micro flow sensors have been developed. Among these, thermal micro flow sensors are attractive because they can be incorporated into microfluidic devices relatively easily. Thermal flow sensors can be categorized into (i) hot film type, (ii) thermotransfer or calorimetric type and (iii) time of flight type. In hot film type sensors, the flow rate is correlated to the power ...
