Some key functions of a Temperature Sensor in a cotton picker include:

1. Monitoring engine temperature: Temperature sensors are commonly used to measure the temperature of the engine block, cylinder head, or coolant system to prevent overheating and potential engine damage. This data helps the operator or control system adjust operating parameters to maintain optimal engine performance.

2. Monitoring hydraulic system temperature: In cotton pickers, hydraulic systems are often used to control various functions such as steering, lifting, and harvesting mechanisms. Temperature sensors in the hydraulic system can detect any abnormal temperature rise, which could indicate a potential issue or component failure.

3. Preventing overheating and damage: By continuously monitoring temperature levels, Temperature Sensors can help prevent overheating and damage to critical components, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the cotton picker.

4. Providing temperature data for diagnostics: Temperature sensors provide valuable data for diagnostic purposes, helping operators or maintenance personnel identify potential problems, optimize performance, and schedule necessary maintenance or repairs.
