Abstract
A fluid electrical probe includes a body portion housing a cleaner, a head portion forming a gap, an electrode disposed in the gap, and a temperature sensor disposed in the gap. The cleaner is extendable into the gap to clean the electrode and the temperature sensor. The body portion comprises a handle configured to be gripped by an operator.
Claims20
A fluid electrical probe, comprising:
- a body portion housing a cleaner;
- a head portion comprising two opposed surfaces forming a gap;
- first and second electrodes, the first electrode being disposed on a first surface of the two opposed surfaces, and the second electrode being disposed on a second surface of the two opposed surfaces;
- and
- a temperature sensor disposed on the first surface or the second surface, wherein the cleaner is extendable into the gap to clean the first and second electrodes and the temperature sensor.

A monitoring system, comprising:
- a fluid electrical probe comprising a housing, wherein the housing comprises:
- a handle comprising a conduit that slidingly supports a cleaner;
- and
- a head structure comprising opposed surfaces that define a gap and support a [n] pair of electrodes at the gap;
- wherein the cleaner is adjustable between a retracted position in which the cleaner is withdrawn from the gap and an extended position in which the cleaner extends into the gap to clean the pair of electrodes.
