FLUID FITTING WITH INTEGRATED TEMPERATURE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17850076 titled 'FLUID FITTING WITH INTEGRATED TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fluid fitting that includes a housing with a fluidic channel for conveying fluid, a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the fluid, and a wiring channel for housing an electrically-conductive path that communicates the temperature signal from the sensor to the exterior of the housing.
- The fluid fitting has a housing with a fluidic channel for fluid flow.
- A temperature sensor is included to measure the temperature of the fluid.
- The housing also has a wiring channel to house an electrically-conductive path.
- The electrically-conductive path extends from the temperature sensor to the exterior of the housing.
- The electrically-conductive path is used to communicate the temperature signal from the sensor.
Potential Applications
- Industrial fluid systems
- Automotive cooling systems
- HVAC systems
- Medical equipment
Problems Solved
- Accurate temperature measurement in fluid systems
- Efficient communication of temperature signals
- Integration of temperature sensing into fluid fittings
Benefits
- Improved control and monitoring of fluid systems
- Real-time temperature measurement
- Simplified installation and wiring
Original Abstract Submitted
A fluid fitting may include a housing having a fluidic channel formed within, configured to convey fluid between a first end of the housing and a second end of the housing, a temperature sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a temperature of fluid flowing in the fluidic channel, and a wiring channel formed in the housing and configured to house at least a portion of an electrically-conductive path extending from the temperature sensor to the exterior of the housing, the electrically-conductive path configured to communicate the signal from the temperature sensor.
