What is a Multipoint Thermocouple?

What is a Multipoint Thermocouple?

A multipoint thermocouple is an advanced temperature measurement device designed to monitor temperature at several points along a single probe. This innovative tool is crucial for obtaining a detailed temperature profile within a system, allowing for simultaneous measurement of temperatures at various locations. The multipoint aspect of these sensors makes them incredibly valuable in applications where temperature gradients (the temperature difference over a distance) need to be closely monitored. It facilitates precise control and uniformity across critical processes, ensuring optimal performance and product quality.

How Multipoint Thermocouples Work?

Multipoint thermocouples are designed with several temperature-sensing points along a single probe, each made from two different metals joined together. These sensors work on a principle called the Seebeck effect, which produces a voltage when there’s a temperature difference between the metals. This voltage tells us the temperature at each sensing point. By measuring temperatures at various locations along the probe, multipoint thermocouples give a clear picture of how temperature changes across the system being studied. This method not only allows for precise monitoring but also offers detailed information on the temperature variation within the process, crucial for maintaining quality and efficiency in industrial operations.

Sensor Design

A Multipoint Thermocouple is designed with several measurement points (junctions) along its length, each capable of independently measuring temperature. This design allows for detailed temperature profiling over the length or breadth of an industrial process or equipment. To illustrate the basic idea of different types of multi-point thermocouples, couples of designs has been illustrated:

Freely Suspended Multi-Point Thermocouple

Typical Applications

Multipoint Temperature Profiling Sensors excel in measuring temperatures along their length at various points. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, they’re indispensable for achieving accurate temperature profiles within chemical reactors, catalytic crackers, and fractionation towers. Multipoint Temperature Profiling Sensors stand out as the most effective solution for cost, maintenance, and data acquisition, enabling the measurement of up to 60 points through just one penetration. This allows for a full temperature profile of columns, tanks, or reactors to be obtained.

Reactors

Multipoint Temperature Profiling Sensors are crucial for the precise monitoring and control of chemical reactions, such as in the production of organic acids via exothermic oxidation processes. In this scenario, reaction components flow through tubes filled with catalysts, undergoing transformation and exiting as acid, while being cooled externally. Multipoint Temperature Profiling Sensors measure the temperature profile within these tubes, enabling the adjustment of component and coolant flows to optimize output and reaction efficiency. This ensures the reaction’s hottest point remains below the maximum allowable temperature.

Distillation Columns/Fractionators

In the distillation of crude oil, Multipoint Temperature Profiling Sensors are key for observing the significant temperature gradient present, with hotter temperatures at the bottom and cooler temperatures at the top of the column. As vapors rise and condense back into liquids at specific heights where the temperature aligns with their condensation points, these liquids are collected on trays. Multipoint Temperature Profiling Sensors monitor temperatures at these strategic points, or cut-points, facilitating precise control over the distillation column’s temperature profile.
