Temperature sensors keep working for 28
years
Lios Technology's current DTS product series was designed to provide reliable performance and smooth operation in industrial environments.
Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) systems are widely used for fire detection in tunnels and for temperature measurements in industrial plants, along wells, power cables or pipelines Most of these applications require high reliability and uptime of the sensor system
Lios Technology's current DTS product series was designed to provide reliable performance and smooth operation in industrial environments.
A recent a mean time between failures (MTBF) evaluation of the current DTS product series gave an MTBF figure of 28 years.
High reliability is also a result of the optical frequency-domain reflectometry (OFDR) technology of the Lios DTS systems.
In contrast to time-domain technology using pulsed lasers with high peak powers, the Lios OFDR DTS uses a quasi-continuous laser with low peak power, cutting wear on the laser unit and avoiding fatigue of other optical components.
