Abstract
A method of making a resistance temperature detector includes additively manufacturing a conductive ink on a flexible substrate and applying the resistance temperature detector to a geometrically complex surface of a component requiring heating, or directly additive manufacturing the resistance temperature detector onto that surface.
Claims20
An assembly comprising:
- a resistance temperature detector for a component, the resistance temperature detector configured to change resistance as the component temperature changes, wherein the resistance temperature detector is additively manufactured such that the resistance temperature detector includes one or more layers of a conductive ink;
- one or more leads electrically connected to the resistance temperature detector;
- and
- a controller electrically connected to the resistance temperature detector through the one or more leads.
1 more element
A resistance temperature detector comprising:
- an additively manufactured resistance element that changes resistance value as its temperature changes, wherein the resistance element comprises one or more layers of a conductive ink;
- and
- one or more electrical leads connected to the resistance element.
A method of making a resistance temperature detector comprising:
- additively manufacturing a conductive ink element having one or more layers of conductive ink to form a resistance element;
- and
- electrically connecting the resistance element with one or more leads.
