Medical applications: ntc temperature sensors are typically used in digital thermometers, incubators, skin sensors, urinary catheters, dialysis equipment, and respirators to monitor temperature, blood flow, or airflow.
Appliance applications: glass encapsulated sheets in a variety of packages are commonly used to monitor and control the temperature of ovens, microwave ovens, washers and dryers, dishwashers, and small appliances - toasters, mixers, hair dryers, curling tongs, showers, air conditioners, stoves, refrigerators, freezers, and to monitor temperatures in rechargeable nickel-chromium batteries and NiMH batteries, on cordless power tools and appliances, portable video cameras, handheld CD players, and other devices. cameras, portable CD players/radios for charge control.
Automotive applications typically use circular, glass-encapsulated sheet, or Uni-Curve? products for temperature monitoring and control of airflow and submersion applications. These devices are commonly used as air intake sensors, battery, engine and transmission temperature sensors, air conditioning and interior/exterior ambient temperature sensors, and oil and gas level sensors.
Office automation/data processing applications typically use ntc temperature sensors for temperature monitoring and control of strapping machines, overhead projectors, color printers, copiers, central processing units (mainframes), power supplies, and charging control of rechargeable NiCad and NiMH batteries used in laptop computers, personal managers, and other battery-powered portable devices.
Telecommunications applications typically use ntc temperature sensors for temperature compensation or glass encapsulated sheets for temperature monitoring and control. Typical applications include switching devices, and rechargeable NiCad and NiMH batteries on cordless phones, radios, and pagers for charge control.
Military/aerospace applications require the use of precision lamellas or glass bead assemblies to monitor the temperature of airplanes, satellites, ground radar, manned orbital vehicles, and deep space sounding rockets.
