Abstract:
A temperature sensor probe assembly comprising a probe housing having a base, a temperature sensor probe having a temperature sensor element therein and mounted on a surface, the temperature sensor probe receiving fluid flow moving in a primary fluid flow direction, and a deflector post mounted on the base comprising a cylinder positioned entirely upstream of the temperature sensor probe and spaced therefrom in an upstream direction, to divert fluid flow from impinging directly on the temperature sensor probe, the temperature sensor probe and the deflector post both being elongated along separate longitudinal axes and both extending outwardly from the surface into fluid flow, and wherein the probe housing includes wall portions along lateral sides of the temperature sensor probe, an inlet opening in the housing facing in the direction of air flow, and an outlet opening on a downstream side of the probe housing, whereby air flow will enter the inlet opening and exit through the outlet opening and will flow past the deflector post and the temperature sensor probe.
