Abstract
An apparatus for measuring the temperature in a heating system comprising a cooking pot with cooking material positioned on a hot plate where a radiation receiver is arranged at a distance from the wall of the cooking pot and aligned with it, which receiver produces a temperature measurement signal corresponding to the temperature of the cooking material in the cooking pot. The temperature measurement signal is derived from a detected radiation area on the wall of the cooking pot which corresponds to the radiation measuring field of the radiation receiver. The effect of different distances of the cooking pot from the radiation receiver is automatically compensated for by aligning the center axis of the radiation measurement field at an acute angle to the support surface of the hot plate, so that the distance of the center of the detected radiation area from the bottom of the cooking pot increases with an increasing distance of the wall of the cooking pot from the radiation receiver.
