Abstract:
A temperature sensing device removably disposed in conduit means which provides fluid flow in a production process comprising:(a) a temperature sensor capable of detecting temperature in said fluid flow comprising: (i) a face having a surface roughness capable of providing turbulence to said fluid flow, wherein said face with surface roughness is made of thermally conductive material; (ii) a temperature probe in thermal connection with said face; and (iii) a thermal insulating barrier surrounding said temperature probe and connected to said face, said thermal insulating barrier containing a passageway for providing signaling means; (b) a tubular member containing passageway continuing from said thermal insulating barrier for providing signaling means, said tubular member connected to said insulating barrier; (c) signaling means disposed in said passageway of said tubular member for communicating the temperature detected by said temperature probe to a remote monitoring device; (d) thermal insulating means disposed around said tubular member; and (e) connecting means for detachably connecting said thermal insulating barrier to said insulating means.
