ABSTRACT:
The device comprises a three-dimensional grid of thermocouples which are immersed in a fluid, which is moving in a covered channel and has a temperature above that of its environment. Apertures in the sheathing of the channel can be progressively closed by shutters so as to control the cooling of the fluid through an outgoing radiation through the apertures. Burners with a variable intensity are placed within the channel and allow to heat up the fluid in the vicinity of each burner. The position of each shutter and the fuel flow to each burner are commanded severally, based on the values emitted by the ensemable of the thermocouples in order to obtain a homogeneous repartition of the temperature of the fluid, transversally with respect to the channel.
