Purpose: To determine the temperature distribution within a controlled environment (e.g., refrigerator, freezer, warehouse) to identify potential temperature variations or "hot spots" and "cold spots."
Method
Multiple calibrated temperature sensors are strategically placed throughout the storage area. Data loggers record temperature readings at specific intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes).
Temperature data is collected over a defined period (e.g., 24-48 hours) under various conditions (e.g., fully loaded, empty, different seasons).
