Abstract

A temperature sensor for accurately measuring a temperature, such as that of a fluid where the temperature is changing, can include a substrate with an exterior surface having a first surface and a second surface spaced by sidewalls. The temperature sensor can include a set of temperature sensor probes along the exterior of the substrate. The temperature sensors can be arranged among a first surface and a second surface of the substrate in order to reduce or eliminate temperature measurement discrepancy.

Claims (16)

1 . A temperature sensor comprising:

a cylindrical body having a first surface separated from a second surface by a set of sidewalls, wherein the second surface is an interior surface defining an interior of the cylindrical body;

a first set of sensors provided on the first surface of the cylindrical body; and

a second set of sensors that are different from the first set of sensors and are positioned within the interior.

2 . The temperature sensor of claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical body is formed as a housing defining an exterior surface as the first surface.

3 . A temperature sensor comprising:

a substrate having a first surface as an exterior surface and a second surface, opposite to the first surface, forming an interior surface defining an interior of the substrate;

a first set of probes provided on the substrate, wherein at least some probes of the first set of probes are provided on the exterior surface; and

a second set of probes that are different than the first set of probes and are positioned within the interior that is formed by the second surface.

4 . The temperature sensor of claim 3 , wherein the first set of probes and the second set of probes include at least a subset of resistance thermometers and at least a subset of thermocouples.

5 . A temperature sensor comprising:

a cylindrical body having a first surface separated from a second surface by a set of sidewalls;

a set of grooves provided on the first surface;

a first set of sensors positioned within the set of grooves; and

a second set of sensors that are different from the first set of sensors and are positioned within an interior that is formed by the second surface of the cylindrical body.

6 . The temperature sensor of claim 5 , wherein the cylindrical body is formed as a housing defining an exterior surface as the first surface.
