ABSTRACT:
A temperature monitor comprising two circular metallic plates which are disposed in the horizontal plane in a spaced-apart configuration, the upper plate having a mirrored top surface and a black bottom surface, the lower plate having a black top surface and a mirrored bottom surface, and a temperature sensor mounted in the space between the two plates. The plates are fastened in the spaced-apart configurataion by use of nylon bolts, and the temperature sensor is mounted using nylon or other electrically insulating washers. The entire apparatus is mounted on wood or PVC supports. A thin layer of temperature-stabilized air is traped in between the two plates, allowing the temperataure sensor to achieve great accuracy.
