Abstract:
A fluid temperature sensor may include a housing having an inlet, an indicator coupled to the housing, and a container disposed within the housing. The container may include a thermo-sensitive housing containing a thermal sensing element. The thermal sensing element may be configured to expand in response to reaching a threshold temperature thereby moving the container from a closed position to an open position. Fluid may flow through the inlet and fill the housing in the open position of the container to actuate the indicator into an activated position.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of sensing a temperature, comprising:\n receiving a fluid in a housing via an inlet; exposing a thermally conductive container arranged in the housing to the fluid, wherein the thermally conductive container is in thermal communication with a thermal sensing element, the thermal sensing element expandable in response to a predetermined threshold temperature; actuating an indicator in response to reaching the predetermined threshold temperature, wherein expansion of the thermal sensing element moves the thermally conductive container from a closed position to an open position such that the fluid fills the housing in the open position and forces the indictor into an activated position.
