External Temperature Sensor

14-10-2010, 11:26 AM

Recently, went to sim lim and bought the external sensor to replace the built-in sensor(Fox). Am using a 150A. After installing and everything's running, was wondering how accurate is the sensor? (i placed the probe at the inlet of the filter) LCD on the chiller was showing eg. 25.6 but the digital thermometer i placed inside the tank was showing eg. 27.5 Anyone can shed some light on it?

delta could be due to the sensor error range, or more likely the temp distribution. which is why some of the chiller has external probe that allows u to dropped into the tank. circulation affects reading
