The temperature distribution monitoring in the combustion chamber is very important to study the behavior of the combustion process. The best and inexpensive monitoring method should be chosen for efficiency. Wireless measurement via Wi-Fi signal is an option. The Wireless capability increases device flexibility when data measurement. The wireless communication also reduces the need for additional cables to connect the microcontroller to the computer for observations of recorded data. Wireless system includes the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitting device consists of three thermocouples, three MAX6675 temperature modules, and ESP8266. The receiving device consists of a Wi-Fi receiver and a computer. The MAX6675 modules amplify and compensate the voltages created by the thermocouples and provide the results to the ESP8266 via Serial Peripheral Interface. The Arduino Ide code in the ESP8266 is used to read the real temperatures in the incinerator and send to computer via Wi-Fi signal. The temperature distribution in incinerator can be monitored using computer wirelessly as long as it is within range of the ESP8266 being used.
