As important as temperature is in the production of electric power, many plant engineers and maintenance personnel overlook the importance of maintaining the accuracy of the temperature measurement system. After only a year in service, a thermocouple element operating in the 1000°F range will experience a shift in the EMF output, causing erroneous readings. This somewhat typical scenario has the potential to result in thousands of dollars of lost output a year.
These inaccuracies can be avoided by replacing critical control thermocouple elements, such as those located in the Westinghouse 501 Exhaust Probes. This simple and inexpensive task can result in large savings by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing productivity.
