4. Design and function
4.1 Description
The closed measuring system with liquid filling consists of a temperature sensor, a capillary
and a Bourdon tube. The volume change as a consequence of the heat applied to the
temperature sensor, and thus the pressure change in the closed system, is transmitted
through the capillary to the Bourdon tube and then indicated on the dial by an angular
deflection of the pointer shaft.
Through the combination of a mechanical measuring system and electronic signal
processing, the process temperature can be read securely, even if the power supply is lost.
