Energy harvesting wireless temperature transmitter

Robinson Brothers is trialling ABB's energy harvesting wireless temperature transmitter on the steam main supplying its chemical manufacturing plant.

The ABB transmitter is powered by an on-board micro-thermoelectric generator (micro-TEG), which is driven by the temperature difference between the steam pipe and the ambient surroundings. The micro-TEGS used in ABB's WirelessHART temperature transmitters provide a robust and compact solution for energy harvesting from either hot or cold processes.
