Where should you place sensors during temperature mapping?

When performing temperature mapping, sensor placement is just as important as sensor accuracy!
Placing sensors in the wrong locations could mean missing critical temperature variations within your environment.

  • Corners and extremities: Temperatures may differ from those measured in the center of a room or chamber.
  • Near doors and openings: Frequent opening and closing can cause temperature fluctuations.
  • Near heating and cooling systems: Airflow and proximity to heating or cooling sources can create temperature differences.
  • Different heights and storage areas: Temperature distribution can vary depending on height, shelving and product placement.
  • Potential hot and cold spots: Identifying the warmest and coldest areas is one of the main objectives of temperature mapping.

 

With Tecnosoft data loggers, you can collect temperature data from multiple measurement points, helping you understand temperature distribution and identify critical areas.
Remember: There is no universal sensor layout! The number and position of sensors should be determined according to the environment, its intended use and the applicable validation requirements.
