Abstract
A sensor well mechanism is disclosed for that may be directed inserted into an enclosure where a measurement of the atmosphere within the enclosure is desired. The sensor well is provided with a drilling head and a drill point allowing the sensor well to be directly inserted into an enclosure using a tool. The sensor well is provided with a bore and slots such that a sensor may be provided within the bore of the sensor well and may be exposed to the atmosphere of an enclosure after the sensor well is inserted into the enclosure.
Claims20
A sensor well for insertion into an enclosure, said sensor well comprising:
- A body portion, having a first end and a second end, provided with a bore for holding a sensing device, wherein said body portion is provided with at least one slot to expose said sensor within said bore to atmosphere within said enclosure, said body portion further provided with a head portion at said first end for allowing said sensor well to be directly inserted into said enclosure.
The sensor well according to claim 9, wherein a plurality of flutes are provided at the second end of said sensor well.
The sensor well according to claim 10, wherein said said flutes are equidistantly spaced from each other around the circumference of the sensor well.
A sensor well for insertion into an VAV box, said said VAV box receiving airflow from a source and providing said air flow to an environment, said VAV box including a damper for controlling said air flow, said damper being controlled by an actuator, said sensor well comprising:
- A body portion, having a first end and a second end, provided with a bore for holding a sensing device, wherein said body portion is provided with at least one slot to expose said sensor within said bore to atmosphere within said VAV box, said body portion further provided with a head portion at said first end for allowing said sensor well to be directly inserted into said enclosure.
