[RE-wrenches] Mounting Temperature Sensors

[Dana]

Have you tried the aluminum foil type of duct tape with the
peel off wax protective paper over the adhesive. It seems to
be virtually impervious to heat or cold, though I have not
tried to apply it to the back of a PV module.

I keep it on the raft for all sort of repairs that get very
hot & wet.

 

Typically available at sheet metal shops, Home Cheapo,
plumbing suppliers, & some hardware outlets.

 

Please let us know if this works.

 

Thanks,  Dana Orzel

Hello Wrenches,

 

Does anyone have any good ideas for mounting thermocouples
or RTD's to the back of modules for cell temperature
measurements?

I've seen electrical tape used (obviously the results were
terrible), thermally conductive epoxy from Omega Instruments
($$) used, some kind of foil tape (electrically
questionable).

 

Any recommendations?

Bubble gum?
