Re: [RE-wrenches] Mounting Temperature Sensors

[Marv Dargatz]

Omega Engineering.  http://www.omega.com/pptst/5TC.html You must be careful about the thermal conductivity of the attachment method.  These pads, part number is TAP, are made of Kapton, and provide some level of thermal insulation.  I have some on my array that are still in place after two years. See ya! Marv 707 763-4784 x7016 Glenn Burt wrote: Hello Wrenches,   Does anyone have any good ideas for mounting thermocouples or RTD’s to the back of modules for cell temperature measurements? I’ve seen electrical tape used (obviously the results were terrible), thermally conductive epoxy from Omega Instruments ($$) used, some kind of foil tape (electrically questionable).   Any recommendations? Bubble gum?   Glenn Burt NABCEP Certified PV Installer NYSERDA Eligible Installer   Technical Specialist Alteris Renewables™ 120 Broadway Albany, NY 12204 Tel:    (518) 512-5154 Cell:   (518) 681-2274 Fax:   (518) 514-1175 Web: www.alterisinc.com   _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
