Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 4:
5. A system comprising:
a first temperature sensor located at a first location and a second temperature sensor located at a second location;
a control configured to determine a difference between voltages indicative of temperatures sensed by each of said first and second temperature sensors and associate the determined difference with a temperature difference between the first and second location;
each of said first and second temperature sensors being configured to communicate to a measurement system through a pair of wires, said measurement system configured to communicate to said control;
wherein one of said pair of wires from each of said first and second temperature sensors communicates to a junction associated with said measurement system, a second of said pair of wires of each of said first and second temperature sensors is a common wire that connects said second temperature sensor to said first temperature sensor, and said common wire connecting said first temperature sensor to said second temperature sensor with a connection to said junction being intermediate to a connection between said first and second temperature sensors;
wherein said temperature difference is utilized to monitor the health of a component in an associated system; and
wherein the component includes a pair of valves.
