A pellet stove is a device used to heat or calcine solid pellets, usually in industrial production and laboratories. During the operation of a pellet stove, the temperature sensor is a very important component in the operation of a pellet stove and is used to measure the temperature inside the stove to ensure that the temperature inside the stove is controlled and stabilized.

For pellet stoves, choosing the right temperature sensor is critical. Depending on the pellet stove's material and operational needs, common types of temperature sensors include thermocouples and thermistors thermistors. Below we will describe the application of each of these two sensor types in pellet stoves.

A thermocouple is a commonly used temperature sensor based on the thermoelectric effect between two different metals. Thermocouples have a wide measuring range and good stability for temperature measurement in high temperature environments. Pellet stoves often need to measure higher temperatures, so thermocouples are a common choice. Common types of thermocouples include Type K, Type N, and Type S. They provide accurate temperature measurements over a wide range of temperatures.

In addition to thermocouples, thermistors are common temperature sensors that measure temperature based on the material's resistance to change with temperature. In pellet stoves, commonly used thermistor materials include platinum resistors and nickel resistors. Platinum resistors have high measurement accuracy and stability and are suitable for a wide temperature range. Nickel resistors are suitable for lower temperature ranges, but their relatively low price makes them suitable for some occasions with high economic requirements.

For the pellet stove, the specific choice of temperature sensor also need to consider other factors, such as sensor size, response time, anti-interference ability. In addition, also need to be based on the specific process requirements of the pellet stove and the requirements of the monitoring system, generally speaking, 100k sensor is more sensitive, can detect a wider range of temperatures, while the 50k sensor is more stable and reliable, the specific choice of which sensor depends on the specific needs of the pellet stove and design requirements.

In summary, pellet stoves typically need to measure higher temperatures, and common types of temperature sensors include thermocouples and thermistors. A number of factors need to be considered to determine exactly what temperature sensor to choose, including the measurement range, accuracy requirements, and process needs. It is recommended to be guided by your supplier or a professional when selecting a temperature sensor.
