AI Technical Summary
Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) installed outdoors or in water-cooled environments cannot meet waterproof and sealing requirements, and the space in the instrument well is limited, so conventional junction boxes cannot meet waterproof and sealing requirements.
A special RTD assembly for instrument wells was designed. It uses compensating wires and composite terminals to transmit the RTD signal to a junction box at a more distant location through a multi-layer sealing structure, including a first sealing cavity and a second sealing cavity. Multiple seals are achieved by using process connectors and explosion-proof glands, reducing the sealing requirements of the junction box.
It achieves effective sealing in waterproof and space-constrained instrument wells, preventing external water or contaminants from entering, isolating media leakage, and meeting high sealing requirements.
