Abstract
Abstract Optical quotient thermometers are disposed on the operative end of pusher rods used to push coke from coke oven chambers. The actual value of the optical quotient temperature is measured by the thermometer on two closely-adjacent wavelengths and a quotient signal is produced from the top measured volumes which is converted in a measuring head secured to the pusher rod. An electrical signal is delivered by a converter in the measuring head by wires extending along the pusher rod to a point externally of the oven chamber to a recording and/or evaluating facility where the signal is recorded.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A temperature measuring means carried on a coke pusher rod for a coke oven chamber, said temperature measuring means including a measuring head on one end of said pusher rod, said measuring head having therein a temperature detector exposed by an optical system to concentrated heat radiation incident on an optical window of said rod for producing a signal corresponding to the received heat radiation from the coke oven chamber, said measuring head further including amplifier means receiving said signal for delivering an output signal to an evaluation unit remote to said coke pusher and said coke oven chamber, the output signal corresponding to varying amounts of heat radiation incident on said optical window, and coolant supply means connected to supply coolant to said measuring head.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The temperature measuring means according to claim 1 wherein said coolant supplying means includes a feed line for supplying water and a feed line for supplying air to said measuring head.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
