Hi Shirley,



Thank you for taking the time to chat to me today regarding my querrie.



Please see below for the details of the problem I have:



The project I am working on is the manufacture of a dmoestic hot water boiler and as part of the continued improvment process we are investigating the methods in which the tempreture sensors are applied within the product; please see the image below for the current application of our tempreture sensors.



[cid:e5fd267f-49c3-43f7-a44c-df529b3a949c]



The manufactures of the sensors had listed them as "immersive" within the heated medium, however as can be seen in the image above they are applied in a thermal bridge configuration. Im looking to understand the two following things:



1. The heatlosses experienced between the heated fluid and the sensor due to the thermal conductivity of copper and brass

2. The time it would take for a change in temp in the heated fluid to be recognised by the sensor.



If you can point me in the direction of anyone who could possibaly assist with my querries it would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks again,
