Turbine Inlet Temperature Measuring System. Volume I.
Abstract
Turbine inlet temperature is one of the most critical parameters in the operation of gas turbine engines, but is seldom used because of the lack of accurate, long-life instrumentation. The objective of the program was to study the feasibility of using a fluidic temperature sensor to bring about a state-of-the-art improvement in turbine inlet temperature measurement by extending the capability to 3000F and by improving the response rate and the operating life. This state-of-the-art improvement required materials studies, development of diffusion bonding techniques, and transducer development in addition to the conventional design and development. Three complete turbine temperature sensing systems were fabricated and subjected to laboratory calibration and environmental testing. Each system produced a binary word output and a d-c voltage, both of which are proportional to sample gas temperature. (Author)
