ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring the temperature of a gasification reactor using an optical pyrometer is disclosed. In one embodiment the apparatus may include a feed injector adapted to receive light conduits. The feed injector (2) includes a feed injector tip (6) having an opening, the feed injector tip being in fluid communication with a feed inlet (8) and a flange connector (4), the flange connector being in optical alignment with the opening of the feed injector tip. A blind flange (10) should be sized to fit on the flange connector of the feed injector and thereby form a gas pressure resistant seal. A pressure sealing gland (12) is fitted in the blind flange such that a light conduit (22a or 22b) can pass through the blind flange and that the receiving end of the light conduit extends into the feed injector such that the light receiving end of the light conduit is in optical alignment with the opening of the feed injector tip. An optical coupler (26a or 26b) functions as an optical connection between the light transmitting end of the light conduit to an fiber optic cable (28a or 28b) and thus to an optical pyrometer.
