METHOD TO DETERMINE THE DISTRIBUTION OF TEMPERATURE SENSORS, METHOD TO ESTIMATE THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL THERMAL DISTRIBUTION AND APPARATUS

摘要

Apparatus comprising M sensors for measuring the temperature on M locations of the apparatus and an estimator configured to estimate a temperature vector of the apparatus with N temperature variables, whereby the estimator is configured to approximate the vector space of the temperature vector by K basis vectors and whereby the M temperature sensors are allocated on the apparatus on the basis of the K basis vectors.
