Abstract
A temperature measurement apparatus for moving fluids includes a base configured such that a fluid flowing in a flow direction passes through the base, and a plurality of temperature sensors disposed on the base or around the base. The plurality of temperature temperatures are configured to measure a plurality of temperatures of the fluid.
Claims19
A temperature measurement apparatus for fluids, comprising:
- a base, wherein a fluid flowing in a flow direction passes through the base;
- and
- a plurality of temperature sensors disposed on or around the base, the plurality of temperature sensors being configured to measure a plurality of temperatures of the fluid.
A temperature measurement method for moving fluids by a temperature measurement apparatus comprising a base, a plurality of temperature sensors, and a temperature collector configured to collect and process a plurality of temperatures measured by the plurality of temperature sensors, the temperature measurement method comprising:
- comparing a first temperature of a fluid measured at an upstream of the base and a second temperature of the fluid measured at a center of a fluid flow configured to pass through the base;
- comparing the second temperature to a third temperature of the fluid measured at a downstream of the base;
- comparing the second temperature to one or more fourth temperatures of the fluid measured at a plurality of points in a perimeter of the fluid flow configured to pass through the base;
- and
- determining whether values of the first temperature, the second temperature, the third temperature, and the one or more fourth temperatures follow a predetermined order based on the comparisons.
