Abstract
In this paper, we present experimental findings related to the measurement of air temperature within an enclosure. We utilized both a conventional temperature sensor and a UOTS (ultra-sensitive oscillating temperature sensor) for this purpose. The UOTS’s output frequency was measured using a microcontroller’s timer and direct memory access. In one experiment, we subjected the air inside the enclosure to rapid heating to evaluate the responsiveness of both sensors. In another experiment, the air temperature was indirectly increased through the laboratory’s heating system. The initial experiment reaffirmed the superior responsiveness of the UOTS, as observed in previous tests. The second experiment, conducted over a duration of more than 20 h, allowed us to establish a frequency-temperature curve for the UOTS. It also enabled us to determine that the UOTS exhibits sensitivity at approximately 45 Hz per degree Celsius. This assessment provided valuable insights into temperature underestimation by the conventional temperature sensor, revealing a discrepancy of 9 °C during the rapid heating experiment. This quantified the significant advantage offered by the UOTS in terms of accuracy and responsiveness.
