Improving Olefin Production Efficiency with Coil Outlet Temperature (COT) Measurement
Alina GreenAt the 2025 AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers) Spring Meeting, Alina Green presented WIKA's unique R&D evaluation of critical ethylene steam cracker coil outlet temperature (COT) sensor designs and installation best practices. The following is …
Robust Electronic Sensors for Coolant Distribution Units
Lorenzo AvitabileA network of robust pressure sensors, temperature sensors, flow sensors, and liquid level sensors control and optimize the performance of coolant distribution units – essential equipment in data centers. A typical data center has thousands of servers, and …
Case Study: IIoT Temperature Monitoring for Vineyard Frost Protection
Peter MiramontesThe Industrial Internet of Things is useful for more than just manufacturing. A vineyard in southern Germany discovered the value of implementing an IIoT frost warning system designed and assembled by WIKA. Ever since agriculture arose about 12,000 years ago, …
Sanitary Temperature Sensors Contribute to a Hygienic Food Production Environment
Gabriel GonzalesAccurate temperature measurement and reliable monitoring throughout a food production facility help create a more hygienic environment, one where harmful bacteria do not proliferate. Made in the greater Houston area, WIKA’s hygienic temperature sensors come with fast …
