Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermographic temperature probe for use in high temperature environments.SOLUTION: A thermographic temperature sensor 20 includes a probe 80, which has a housing 82 and a light pipe 84 disposed within the housing. The light pipe 84 includes a thermographic phosphor 86 that may phosphoresce in response to absorbing light. The phosphorescence by the thermographic phosphor 86 is representative of a temperature of a fluid in contact with the probe 80, and a surface area of the light pipe 84 is not in contact with an inner surface of the housing 82.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】高温環境で使用されるサーモグラフィ温度プローブを提供する。【解決手段】サーモグラフィ温度センサ20は、ハウジング82と、ハウジング内に配置された光パイプ84と、を有するプローブ80を含む。光パイプ84は、光を吸収することに応答して燐光を発することができるサーモグラフィ蛍光体86を含む。サーモグラフィ蛍光体86による燐光はプローブ80と接触する流体の温度を表し、光パイプ84の表面積はハウジング82の内面と接触しない。【選択図】図3
