The function of the sensor is to communicate the electronic board to the current operating temperature. In order for it to be in charge of starting or turning off the cooling system.
The sensors used are of the NTC (negative temperature coefficient) type, that is, negative temperature coefficient, they have:
- Resistance inversely proportional to temperature;
- They are temperature dependent resistors
- Iron oxide, magnesium and chromium compounds, barium titanate, etc.
- They are used at a temperature of -50 ° to 150 ° C.
