Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for detecting a temperature of a cabin within an airplane. The method includes the steps of providing a temperature sensor, enclosing the temperature sensor within an enclosure, coupling an inlet of the enclosure to the cabin of the airplane and an outlet to an air conditioning air return of the airplane and disposing a filter over the inlet. In another aspect, the apparatus includes a mounting plate having a center aperture, a curved profile in a first direction to conform to a vertical curve on a spacer between adjacent overhead luggage bins of an aircraft and a width in a second direction that fits between doors of the overhead luggage bins, a U-shaped bezel that engages the mounting plate, the bezel defining a pair of notches between the bezel and mounting plate along opposing inside edges of a pair of upright arms of the U-shaped bezel and a filter cartridge with a pair of opposing flanges that engages the notches and a filter media over a central portion that covers the aperture in the mounting plate.
