THERMOCOUPLE

THERMOCOUPLE WORKS ON THE PRINCIPLE OF SEEDBACK EFFECT. IT CONSISTS OF

HOT AND COLD JUNCTION. WITH CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE , THERE IS VOLTAGE
INDUCED AND THIS VOLTAGE IS CONVERTED INTO CURRENT , GENERALLY IN THE
RANGE OF 4-20 milliampere. AFTER THAT IT ENTERS INTO THE CONTROLLER
WHICH CONSISTS OF A SET POINT(AUTOMATED), FROM THERE THE CURRENT IS
CONVERTED INTO PRESSURE(3-15 PSIG) WITH THE HELP OF PNEUMATIC
CONTROLLER WHICH IS FIXED WITH A VALVE. THE VALVE OPENS AND CLOSES
ACCORDING TO THE REQUIREMENTS.
