A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensor operates on the principle that its resistance decreases as temperature increases. Typically made from semiconductor materials, NTC sensors exhibit a significant drop in resistance when heated, allowing for precise temperature measurements. This change in resistance can be measured and translated into a temperature reading, making NTC sensors widely used in applications like thermistors and temperature monitoring systems. Their sensitivity and quick response time make them ideal for various industrial and consumer electronics.

How temperature indicator transmitter work?

A temperature indicator transmitter works by converting temperature measurements from a sensor, such as a thermocouple or RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector), into an electrical signal. The sensor detects temperature changes and produces a corresponding voltage or resistance change. The transmitter then amplifies and conditions this signal, converting it into a standardized output, often in the form of a 4-20 mA current loop or a digital signal. This output can be transmitted to a control system or display for monitoring and analysis.


Will either kruskal or prim's algorithm work on negative edge graph?

The correctness of either Prim's or Kruskal's algorithm, is not affected by negative edges in the graph. They both work fine with negative edges. The question boils down to "Does a Priority Queue of numbers work with negative numbers?" because of the fact that both Prim's and Kruskal's algorithm use a priority queue. Of course -- as negative numbers are simply numbers smaller than 0. The "<" sign will still work with negative numbers.

Will it still work when my radiator fins for CPU cooler are damaged?

That will depend on the degree of the damage to the fins. If some of the fins are slightly bent there should be no problem at all. On the other hand if several of the fins are broken off the cooling will probably not be adequate, Is the microprocessor's internal temperature sensor reporting an unusually high temperature (this is the easiest way to tell if cooling is working right or not)?


What causes an 02 heater circuit malfunction on a 2000 Maxima SE?

Newer oxygen sensors are heated for accuracy. If the heater element goes bad the oxygen sensor doesn't work and needs to be replaced. If you have an oxygen sensor heater malfunction, it just means that the oxygen sensor has failed.

If temp sensor on 99 jeep goes bad will the gauge still work?

It is common for there to be three temperature sensors, one for air, one for the EFI computer and one for the gauge, so yes the sensor can fail and the gauge will still work because it is a different sensor.


My gauge of temperature doesnt work because there was a short circuit in the instrument panel i check the fuses and its ok i change the engine coolant temperature sensor but it doesnt work how i fix?

There should be a second sensor, located near the exhaust manifold. One snesor controls the fan, the other controls the gauge.


How does a temperature recorder work?

Typically is stays accurate to within ±¾°C over its temperature range so this is a good general purpose sensor and it's easy to use.


How does a mass airflow sensor work?

A mass air flow sensor, measures the mass(weight/temperature) of the air the engine is taking in. It does this by heating a wire in the sensor to a certain temperature and as the air flows past it cools the wire. The amount of current it takes to maintain the temperature lets the ECM know how much air it ingested by the motor and calculates the amount of fuel that is need.
