THERMOGRAPHIC TEMPERATURE SENSOR

A system includes a thermographic temperature sensor 20 that may measure a temperature of a fluid. The thermographic temperature sensor includes a probe 80, an optical source 90 coupled to the probe, and a detector 96 coupled to the probe. The system also includes a housing of the probe; and a light...

More Information
Summary:A system includes a thermographic temperature sensor 20 that may measure a temperature of a fluid. The thermographic temperature sensor includes a probe 80, an optical source 90 coupled to the probe, and a detector 96 coupled to the probe. The system also includes a housing of the probe; and a light pipe of the probe disposed within the housing and including a thermographic phosphor 86 that may phosphoresce in response to absorbing light from the optical source. The phosphorescence by the thermographic phosphor is representative of a temperature of the fluid within a flow path of the fluid, and the detector may detect the phosphorescence by the thermographic phosphor.
