Meet WiT-es U
Batteryless Monitoring at High Temperatures Pipeline Temperature Sensor
WiT-es U
WiT-es U is designed with an 'anatomical' fit for the critical world of industrial pipelines. It completely eliminates the contact loss that standard sensors experience on curved surfaces with its curved bottom geometry customizable to any small or large pipe diameter. While its product photos feature a design specialized for a standard pipe type (e.g. DN50), this architecture is fully adaptable to all industrial pipe dimensions. Secured to the pipe surface using energy harvesting technology, this design maximizes data transfer and energy harvesting, converting the most demanding steam and air lines into wireless & batteryless temperature data sources.
Specifically machined curved base geometry for any industrial pipe diameter, large or small. Detects the actual surface temperature by ensuring full contact with no air gaps.
While measuring the existing high heat in steam and Start Air lines, it operates by harvesting energy from this heat. Operates autonomously without cables or batteries in any line where ΔT > 5°C (difference between pipe temperature and ambient temperature).
Installs in seconds without damaging the pipeline, requiring no welding or drilling. Digitalize your facility without stopping production.
Detects sudden temperature changes within milliseconds thanks to high thermal conductivity and instantly transmits data to your existing SCADA/PLC systems or ESCOM-es Dashboard via the Gateway (Wi-GaTe).
Error of Flat Sensors on Curved Lines
When standard flat-bottom sensors are mounted on curved pipes, they can only make contact along a single line. The remaining gaps fill with ambient air, causing severe measurement deviations.
Harsh Environment and Energy Demands
High-heat zones like steam lines are 'fatal' environments for battery-powered sensors. High temperatures cause batteries to discharge quickly or swell, compromising system safety.
WiT-es U: The Perfect Solution for Pipelines
With its curved structure that embraces and adapts to the pipe, WiT-es U keeps ambient air out. It offers the advantage of batteryless operation by utilizing high heat as an energy source rather than an enemy.
