  • SENSOR SYSTEM AND INTEGRATED HEATER-SENSOR FOR MEASURING AND CONTROLLING PERFORMANCE OF A HEATER SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230116575
    Abstract: A heater system includes an integrated heater device and a control system. The integrated heater device includes a thermocouple for measuring temperature and one or more multiportion resistive elements that are operable as heaters to create a temperature differential between the fluid and air to detect the fluid, and as sensors to measure a fluid level. The control device operates the integrated heater device as a sensor or heater based on one or more performance characteristics of the heater system and self-calibrates the heater device.

  • Sensor system and integrated heater-sensor for measuring and controlling performance of a heater system
    Patent number: 11525744
    Abstract: A fluid sensor system detects one or more performance characteristics of a heating system that heats a fluid. The sensor system includes a probe having a finite length a portion of which is to be immersed in the fluid. The probe includes a resistive heating element and a fluid temperature sensor for measuring one or more performance characteristics, wherein the fluid temperature sensor is configured to measure a fluid temperature, and the resistive heating element is operable as a heater to create a temperature differential between the fluid and air to detect the fluid, and as a sensor to measure a fluid level.
