THERMISTOR (MRD-12-00495-01)

The Thermistor is a vital temperature-sensing device used in transport refrigeration systems. It measures temperature changes and provides critical data for system control and monitoring.

• Temperature Sensing: The thermistor detects temperature variations in key system areas such as the evaporator, condenser, or refrigerated cargo space.
• System Control: By providing accurate temperature readings, the thermistor helps regulate compressor and fan operation to maintain desired cooling levels.
• Protecting Components: Monitoring temperatures allows the system to avoid conditions that could cause freezing, overheating, or inefficient operation.
• Signal Output: The thermistor changes its electrical resistance based on temperature, which is converted into temperature data by the control unit.
• Diagnostic Aid: Temperature readings from the thermistor can help identify issues such as sensor faults, refrigerant problems, or airflow restrictions.

In summary, the thermistor plays an essential role in ensuring accurate temperature monitoring and efficient operation of transport refrigeration systems.
