Thermocouple adapted for arrangement behind brick lining

摘要

The invention is a thermocouple installation wherein the thermocouple measures the temperature in a gasification reactor. The thermocouple is installed through the wall of a gasification reactor such that the measuring element is behind a continuous layer of refractory hot face brick. The thermocouple assembly is mounted in a opening made through the gasifier wall, the insulating brick, and optionally a portion of the way through the hotface brick.
