Construction and characteristics of a thermometer in a hot filament CVD reactor for synthesis of nanocomposites based on carbon nanotubes

Magdaléna Kadlečíková – Michal Kolmačka

   This study presents the crucial parts of the final construction of a combined temperature meter with wireless transmission of temperature data. The wireless transmission of temperature information is realized by optical coupling between the photodiode and the phototransistor through the air, not through an optical fibre. The power source is structurally unique in that its output terminals have mechanical freedom and thus the possibility to rotate without using mechanical contacts. Transmission of the supply energy is mediated by the magnetic field in a pot core transformer. A linear symmetrical post-regulator stabilizing the output voltage and ensuring the symmetry of the output voltages is included at the output of the source.
