Abstract:
A temperature sensing assembly for measuring the temperature of an inner wall of a high temperature vessel includes a thermocouple assembly having multiple junction points to provide indications of temperature. The assembly further includes support structures for supporting the thermocouple assembly in the interior space of the vessel and to maintain the junction points proximate the inner wall of the vessel.

Claim (Index 18):
An assembly, comprising:\n a high temperature vessel in which a high temperature process is performed; a multipoint thermocouple comprising a plurality of conductor pairs disposed within an elongate sheath, each conductor pair having two conductors of dissimilar materials joined at a junction point, each junction point being disposed at a unique longitudinal location within the sheath so that temperature can be sensed at a plurality of locations along an inner wall of the high temperature vessel; a plurality of heat shields positioned over each junction point to shield the junction point from thermal sources other than the inner wall of the vessel, wherein the heat shields each include an interior portion; thermally insulative material that is disposed within the interior portion of each heat shield after the heat shield is positioned over the corresponding junction point; and a plurality of support structures coupled to the inner wall of the high temperature vessel to support the multipoint thermocouple and maintain the junction points proximate the inner wall.
