A gas monitoring device for monitoring gas levels within a chamber is
provided. The gas monitoring device includes a housing having a probe
with a sensor disposed on the probe. The probe extends through the
housing and into a chamber such that the sensor is within the chamber.
The housing includes a first passageway disposed about the probe and
second passageway disposed about the first passageway. During operation
of the gas monitoring device, a temperature adjusting medium enters the
second passageway through an inlet of the housing and then enters into
the first passageway via the second passageway. As the temperature
adjusting medium travels through the first passageway, the temperature
adjusting medium adjusts the temperature of the probe. The temperature
adjusting medium adjusts the temperature of the probe through thermal
conduction. As the temperature of the probe adjusts, the temperature of
the sensor also adjusts through thermal conduction.
