Abstract

969, 917. Measuring temperature electrically. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. July 19, 1962 [Aug. 11, 1961], No. 29158/61. Heading G1N. A temperature measuring device, particularly for nuclear reactor fuel elements, comprises a probe with a magnetic core, electrically heated to its Curie point and an integrator to measure the additional energy required by the probe to reach this temperature. The probe 11 (Fig. 1) comprises two coaxial conductors shorted at one end, the inner conductor adjacent the short circuit being of comparatively high resistance, coated with a material of high magnetic permability, and in thermal contact with a fuel element. An A.C. supply to the probe has a constant current characteristic due to a series high resistance 12. As the probe temperature rises, its permeability falls causing a reduction in the voltage across it, this voltage remaining substantially constant when the Curie point is reached. The initially changing voltage is differentiated at 15, (Fig. 2) and amplified at 16 to energize a relay coil 13. When the Curie point of the probe is reached, the differentiator output is zero and relay 13 is de-energized, whereupon the probe heating current is interrupted at 13a. Signals proportional to the probe resistance and to the square of probe current respectively from devices 17, 18, are multiplied at 19 and integrated at 21. A normally closed contact 13b is open when probe heating takes place and the integrator output is combined in a unit 22 with signals dependent upon auxilliary probe parameters such as self heating, to obtain a corrected integral and hence element temperature. The probe may alternatively comprise a resistor with two temperature dependent solid phases, and the apperatus is sensitive to the constant temperature at which the material changes from the one state to the other. A number of probes may be connected in series to the integrating circuit which thus determines the temperature at the hottest probe.
