2 results about "Thermowell" patented technology

Thermowells are cylindrical fittings used to protect temperature sensors installed in industrial processes. A thermowell consists of a tube closed at one end and mounted in the process stream. A temperature sensor such as a thermometer, thermocouple or resistance temperature detector is inserted in the open end of the tube, which is usually in the open air outside the process piping or vessel and any thermal insulation. Thermodynamically, the process fluid transfers heat to the thermowell wall, which in turn transfers heat to the sensor. Since more mass is present with a sensor-well assembly than with a probe directly immersed into the process, the sensor's response to process temperature changes is slowed by the addition of the well. If the sensor fails, it can be easily replaced without draining the vessel or piping. Since the mass of the thermowell must be heated to the process temperature, and since the walls of the thermowell conduct heat out of the process, sensor accuracy and responsiveness is reduced by the addition of a thermowell.

Thermowell for temperature sensor

PCT designated stageWO2026142469A1Refining (metallurgy)Power engineering
The invention relates to the field of measuring technology and can be used in oil refining, power engineering, metallurgy and other branches of industry to prevent damage to temperature sensors when measuring the temperature of flowing liquid and gaseous media. A thermowell for a temperature sensor comprises a mounting part for attachment to an object, and an immersion part in the shape of a solid of revolution having a blind hole, said immersion part having flow modifying elements on the outer surface thereof, which are provided in the form of longitudinal ribs divided into sections, wherein the sections on adjacent ribs are offset from one another. The technical result is that of adapting a thermowell for use across a wider range of flow rates by more efficiently reducing vortex formation and oscillation amplitude.
