Abstract

The industrial environment of a manufacturing plant is a suitable field of application for a variety of measuring tasks for process monitoring on the use of thermoelectric generators (TEG) for the power supply of wireless sensor modules. This paper describes the various aspects of the development of a self-sustaining system using the example of coolant monitoring and control. Subject is a continuous pressure and temperature measurement at each mold of a cooling system. Furthermore, wireless transmission of data to a central base station is required, wherein more than 50 sensor modules have to share one radio channel. The energy for operation of the sensor module is provided by a TEG using the temperature difference between the coolant tube and the "warm" environment. To attain a stable energy supply, various TEG and construction practices with controlled heat flow have been evaluated and optimized. In combination with a specific power management a robust, industry-compliant solution has been realized.

热电发电机驱动的工业无线传感器系统

制造工厂的工业环境是使用热电发电机(TEG)为无线传感器模块供电的过程监控的各种测量任务的合适应用领域。本文以冷却剂监测和控制为例，介绍了自持系统开发的各个方面。主题是在冷却系统的每个模具上进行连续的压力和温度测量。此外，需要将数据无线传输到中央基站，其中50多个传感器模块必须共享一个无线电信道。传感器模块的运行能量由TEG提供，利用冷却剂管和“温暖”环境之间的温差。为了获得稳定的能源供应，对各种TEG和控制热流的施工方法进行了评估和优化。与特定的电源管理相结合，实现了一个强大的、符合行业标准的解决方案。
