Device (S) for measuring the perceived temperature of an environment comprising: at least one first sensitive element (1), exposed to the environment for which the perceived temperature is to be estimated, configured to be supplied with a variable power, so as to dissipate a thermal power equal to the power that would be dissipated by conduction, convection and radiation from the human skin exposed to the same environment; means for measuring the temperature of said first sensitive element (1); calculation and control means (8); electrical supply means controlled by said calculation means (8) and adapted to supply said sensitive element (1) with an electrical power determined by said calculation and control means (8).
A device (S) for measuring a perceived temperature of an environment comprising:
A plurality of “slave” sensors (Ss), each consisting of a simplification of the sensor S in which only the first sensitive element (1) is present but both the second sensitive element (3) and the third sensitive element (2) are missing, said slave sensors (Ss) being designed to supply local temperatures by delegating the measurement of ambient temperature and humidity to a single “master” sensor S, the latter carries out an appropriate average of the perceived temperatures as estimated by the sensors (Ss) and provide the mediated value in output.
