Abstract

A method of controlling energy conversion through the thermal processes which take place in a working space of a machine comprises measuring the temperature of the process by means of a temperature sensor direction in the working space and supplying components and proportions thereof to the working space in amounts determined as a function of the temperature. A device for carrying out the method comprises a temperature sensor having a measuring element which is a sintered mixture of zirconium oxide and iron oxide.
