  • Patent number: 10768052
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multipoint sensor for determining a temperature profile of a medium and to a method for producing said multipoint sensor. The multipoint sensor includes a tubular sheath having a closed end region; at least two cylindrical spacers produced from a material having a high thermal conductivity and arranged in an axially-spaced manner in the interior of the sheath. Each spacer includes a recess for holding a temperature-sensitive component of an elongate temperature sensor. Each spacer, with the exception of the spacer closest to the closed end region, has through-bores for feeding through the elongate temperature sensors fastened to the preceding spacers. The number of through-bores of a spacer corresponds to the number of preceding spacers. A filling material, is arranged between the spacers and surrounds each of the elongate temperature sensors. The filling material has a lower thermal conductivity than the material of the spacers.
