Yes.

I do this with my work with years.  The data I index has year strings 
like this: "1837-65" but a search for year:1856 will find this 
document.  I do this by expanding the terms indexed so that the year 
field has a term for each year in the range.  In your case, you could 
index a "temp" field with every unit value between 100 and 200 
inclusively.

I recommend you post to java-user@lucene rather than general@lucene.
