Abstract
An immersion well construction including a rigid, heat conductive elongate member having (a) a threaded outside surface portion for threading into a preexisting fluid vessel wall threaded opening, (b) a wrench flat portion disposed proximally of the threaded outside surface portion and (c) a longitudinally extending cavity. The cavity has a main cavity body portion and an adjacent and smaller diameter distal cavity pocket. An inwardly disposed groove is formed on and extends longitudinally along the cavity, such that one or more wires of an electrical sensor held in the cavity pocket can pass in and along the groove and out the elongate member and to an electrical system, such as a remote computer control system.
Claims23
An immersion well construction, comprising:
- a generally rigid, heat conductive, elongate probe member having (a) a threaded outside surface portion for threading into an opening in a wall of a fluid vessel, (b) a wrench flat portion disposed proximally of said threaded outside surface for engagement by a wrench for theading said threaded outside surface relative to the opening such that said elongate probe member is in an operative position relative to the vessel, and (c) a longitudinally extending cavity;
- said cavity including a main cavity body portion and a distal cavity pocket adjacent thereto;
- said cavity pocket, with said elongate probe member in the operative position, being disposed inside of the vessel;
- said cavity pocket being configured and dimensioned for housing generally therein a first device having a signal output, with said elongate probe member in the operative position, and at least one conduit for conveying the signal output to another location generally outside of the vessel;
- said main cavity body portion being configured and dimensioned for housing therein a second device;
- and
- said elongate probe member having a inwardly disposed groove formed on and extending longitudinally along a wall of said cavity portion and in which at least a portion of the conduit of the first device, when housed in said cavity pocket, can extend to pass generally along the second device when housed in said main cavity body portion and generally out of said elongate probe member.

- said cavity including a main cavity body portion and a distal cavity pocket generally adjacent thereto;
- said cavity pocket having a diameter less than the diameter of said main cavity body portion;
- said cavity pocket, with said threaded outside surface portion threaded into the opening, being disposed generally in the vessel;
- said cavity pocket being configured and dimensioned for housing generally therein a first device having a device output and having at least one conduit for conveying the device output to another location generally outside of the vessel;
- said main cavity body portion being configured and dimensioned for housing therein a second device;
- and
- said elongate probe member having an inwardly disposed groove formed on and extending longitudinally along a wall of said main cavity body portion and in which at least a part of the conduit of the first device, when the first device is housed in said cavity pocket, can generally pass out of said elongate probe member and generally along the second device when in said main cavity body portion.
