Monitoring  Electrical Bus Bar Temperatures with Infrared Sensors

Monitoring Electrical Bus Bar Temperatures with Infrared Sensors

Bus bars are the backbone of industrial power distribution, but their connection points are also one of the most common sources of failure. Loose connections, corrosion, and thermal cycling can create resistance that leads to dangerous hot spots, often long before any visible signs appear. By using non-contact infrared temperature sensors, maintenance teams can continuously monitor bus bar conditions, detect issues early, and prevent costly downtime or safety incidents.


How to Measure Asphalt Temperature During Road Paving

How to Measure Asphalt Temperature During Road Paving

Monitoring asphalt temperature at every stage of road paving, from the plant to final compaction, is essential to ensure a durable, long-lasting surface. This article explains how and when to measure temperature using infrared tools, with a special focus on the IOThrifty PyroCouple sensor as a smart solution for construction professionals.

Monitoring Coolant Flow in High-Density Liquid-Cooled Data Centers

Monitoring Coolant Flow in High-Density Liquid-Cooled Data Centers

Measuring flow in liquid-cooled data center racks is critical as power densities increase and traditional air cooling falls short. This comprehensive guide explains how coolant flow is monitored in direct-to-chip and rear-door heat exchanger systems, including equations, sensor technology tradeoffs, and BMS integration. It is written for engineers responsible for designing and operating modern, high-density data centers.

What Is a Signal Conditioner?

A signal conditioner is the critical link between sensors and control systems, transforming raw, noisy signals into clean, standardized data engineers can trust. From amplifying microvolt readings to isolating circuits and linearizing temperature inputs, it ensures accurate and safe measurements in demanding environments. In temperature control applications, devices like the TxRail-USB, TxIsoRail, and I4P from IOThrifty deliver reliable, noise-free 4–20 mA or 0–10 V outputs that keep industrial systems running smoothly.

How Glycol Concentration Affects Leak Detection in Data Center Cooling Loops

In liquid-cooled data centers, glycol keeps systems from freezing, but too much can make leak detection go blind. We tested how propylene glycol concentration affects conductive leak sensors and found that detection stops around 80%. See how your cooling loop compares.
