Abstract
In a system for attaching and fixing a temperature sensor, e.g., an NTC element, the NTC element is accommodated in a pressure connector section of a sensor housing. The area of the head of the temperature sensor is flanked and/or supported by guide vanes, which cause the incident flow in the area of the head of the temperature sensor to be accelerated.
Claims14
A device for fixing a temperature sensor in a sensor housing, comprising:
- at least two guide vanes located in a pressure connector section of the sensor housing, wherein the two guide vanes are configured to at least one of flank and support the head of the temperature sensor, and wherein the two guide vanes are configured to accelerate the incident flow in the area of the head of the temperature sensor.
A method for mounting a temperature sensor in a sensor housing having a connector part, comprising:
- a) integrally joining the temperature sensor to a sensor module to form a first assembly;
- b) introducing an adhesive into the sensor housing;
- c) inserting the first assembly into a cavity of the sensor housing and sealing the cavity;
- d) placing a sealing ring and a guide vane head onto the connector part;
- and
- e) integrally joining the guide vane head to the connector part.
