Endress+Hauser temperature probes take the heat!

A recent trial has proven that Endress+Hauser temperature probes with thermowells made from a new alloy can withstand extreme temperatures up to 1000ºC that are typically found in the furnace of an energy-from-waste facility.

Temperature: a critical measurement in a harsh environment

In energy-from-waste plants furnace temperature is a critical measurement. By burning the waste at an optimum temperature the release of harmful emissions is avoided. In order to accurately record the temperature in the furnace, three or more temperature thermowells are inserted into the furnace directly above the flame. Due to the incredibly harsh conditions in the furnace, conventional probes made from Incoly 800HT alloy will typically fail after three or four months of service. As the probes are sited in an elevated position, changing them can be difficult. In addition, each time the furnace is opened there is the possibility that cooler air will enter or that hot gases will escape, both of which can decrease the efficiency of the process and cause health and safety concerns.
