  • Process for monitoring the heat gradient in a heat-producing system
    Patent number: 4639210
    Abstract: A process for monitoring the heat gradient in a heat-producing system is disclosed. Also disclosed is an apparatus which can be used in the process. In this process, at least three heat sensors, which are situated downstream from a heat source, determine the temperature of the exhaust gas from the heat source. Each of the heat sensors used produces a substantially identical response to a given temperature. The output from each two sequential heat sensors is operatively connected to an indicator, which evaluates whether the downstream heat sensor is reporting a temperature lower than the upstream heat sensor; if the downstream heat sensor does report a lower temperature than the upstream heat sensor, then the indicator reads positive; but if the downstream heat sensor reports a highter temperature than the upstream heat sensor, then the indicator reads negative.
