Abstract
A method for controlling a temperature of a heating element can include: measuring a temperature of the heating element using a temperature sensor; estimating a temperature of the heating element based on a heat transfer model of the heating element; calculating a variation of the estimated temperature and a variation of the measured temperature; and determining whether a failure of the temperature sensor occurs based on the calculated variation of the estimated temperature and the calculated variation of the measured temperature.

A method for controlling a temperature of a heating element, the method comprising:
- measuring a temperature of the heating element using a temperature sensor;
- estimating a temperature of the heating element based on a heat transfer model of the heating element;
- calculating a variation of the estimated temperature and a variation of the measured temperature;
- and
- determining whether a failure of the temperature sensor occurs based on the calculated variation of the estimated temperature and the calculated variation of the measured temperature.
A system for controlling a temperature of a heating element, the system comprising:
- a heating element in which an exothermic reaction is performed;
- a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the heating element;
- and
- a controller configured to estimate a temperature of the heating element based on a heat transfer model of the heating element, calculate a variation of the estimated temperature and a variation of the measured temperature, and determine whether a failure of the temperature sensor occurs based on the calculated variation of the estimated temperature and the calculated variation of the measured temperature.
