What is the function of a differential pressure transmitter?

Pressure transmitters function by measuring the amount of pressure that is exerted on their sensors. It measures mechanical pressure and converts it to electrical signal.


What is difference between occupancy and daylight sensors?

Simply put, daylight sensors sense the amount of light in an area and either dim or turn off electric lighting sources to that area. Occupancy sensors are not impacted by the amount of daylight in a space, but by the motion of people within the space, keeping the lights on when there is movement and turning them off after a set time without movement.


What kind of energy is stored in an electric motor?

A machine that turns electricity into mechanical energy is known as an electric motor. The rotor's inertia, as well as the mechanical system that supports the motor, stores energy. It controls the electric motor's torque and speed. It maintains a safe temperature range for the engine, power electronics, electric motor, and other components. It functions as a power source for the electric traction motor. Electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy by electric motors.


Are oxygen sensors and map sensors the same thing?

No they are not. O2 sensors measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust downstream. The M.A.P. sensor stands for Manifold Absolute pressure Switch, it ties into the manifold and monitors the amount of vacuum in the manifold and compares the values to other sensors for the timing and fuel settings.


Does an electric fan on a gas space heater use more or the same amount of power on high or low?

Will use More On High If the Temperature increases


Which is hotter an electric fire or a light bulb?

An electric fire has a wattage of between 1 and 3 kw depending on the model - a light bulb can be anywhere between 40 and 120w.So an electric fire is a lot hotter.Another AnswerIf, by 'hotter', are referring to temperature, then lamps operate at a far higher temperature than an electric fire (white hot vs red hot!). If, by hotter, you are referring to the amount of energy consumed, then electric fires win!


What controls the converter on a 1999 escort?

The oxygen sensors control the amount fuel in the engine and if it is making too many emissions the oxygen sensors will cut back on the fuel or if they are worn out they will increase the amount of fuel. The catalytic converter will eventually get plugged up if the Oxygen sensors are bad. The oxygen sensors control the converter.


What happens to the amount of the sun's mass as it burns?

It converts into radiant energy


What is the amount of time it takes for the Serta electric mattress pad to heat up?

What are co2 sensors used for?

CO2 sensors in houses are used for detecting when there is too large of an amount of carbon dioxide there is in a house. These sensors go off and the fire department comes.


The amount spent on heating depends on the temperature?

What is the meaning of Fuzzy in a washing machine?

Fuzzy logic is a term that is used in some of the modern washing machines. These machines have sensors that can detect the amount of clothes, how dirty they are and what temperature they should be washed at and adjusts the controls accordingly.
