PROBE THERMISTOR BLUE 38

There are many types of probes used in restaurant equipment for the measurement of temperature, humidity, liquid level, ice level, product or ingredient levels and other critical operating limits and control points (HACCP). A probe is a small device, especially an electrode, used for measuring, testing, or sensing and obtaining information. Probes are commonly thin and oblong, and may be flexible. They provide data output to other components to control operation of the equipment. 

A thermistor is a temperature sensor commonly used in restaurant equipment such as ovens, refrigerators, ice machines and other foodservice equipment. It is a resistor having resistance that changes in response to temperature fluctuations. In other words, the resistance of a thermistor increases as the temperature decreases, and vice versa.

Thermistors are often used in restaurant equipment because they are accurate, reliable, and relatively inexpensive. They are also small and easy to install, which makes them a popular choice for use in a wide range of food production and storage equipment. In addition, thermistors respond quickly to changes in temperature, which makes them well-suited for use in applications where the temperature may change rapidly.

Thermistors are typically connected to a control system which allows the equipment to accurately monitor and control the temperature where temperature control is crucial for ensuring food safety and maintaining quality.
