- Everyone knows that temperature sensors have a wide range of applications, so what changes will they make in the automotive industry?
Installing temperature sensors on buses can prevent spontaneous combustion:
During the high temperature period in summer, incidents of bus spontaneous combustion occur from time to time. How to prevent the occurrence of bus spontaneous combustion incidents is particularly important. In order to prevent accidents, the bus company has installed temperature sensors on some buses to ensure their safe operation.
Generally speaking, the occurrence of spontaneous combustion accidents in buses is not unrelated to the long service life of the vehicles and the aging of the internal routes. Vehicles with long operating years and rear mounted engines are prone to accidents such as fires caused by high engine compartment temperatures during operation.
Drivers of rear engine vehicles find it difficult to detect issues such as high engine temperature, so installing temperature sensors for alarm can play a significant role. The bus company has installed temperature sensors on some buses, which will automatically sound an alarm when the engine temperature reaches the set threshold. Installing temperature sensors can effectively improve various safety hazards of the engine, thereby ensuring driving safety and passenger personal safety.
New energy vehicles: energy conservation and emission reduction:
Currently, "energy conservation and emission reduction" is one of the main directions for global industrial development. This refers to the need to continue researching and developing "energy conservation and emission reduction" technologies for internal combustion engines, as well as the need to strengthen the development of new energy vehicles.
The sensors used in hybrid/electric vehicles mainly include sensors for detecting battery temperature, temperature sensors for monitoring motors, and temperature sensors for battery cooling systems. The battery of hybrid/electric vehicles can only provide optimal energy output at a precisely defined operating temperature. Therefore, reliable monitoring and adjustment of battery temperature are required to prevent overheating and maximize its working life. Currently, most hybrid/electric vehicle battery designs use NTC temperature sensors to measure their temperature.
