SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING GAS TURBINE ENGINE TEMPERATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17947863 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING GAS TURBINE ENGINE TEMPERATURES
Simplified Explanation
The system described in the patent application is for determining an indicated turbine temperature (ITT) for a gas turbine engine. The system includes an engine control system with a processor and memory storing instructions. When executed, the instructions cause the processor to estimate outlet temperature values, determine work of the high-pressure turbine, estimate inlet temperature values, and calculate the ITT.
- The system includes an engine control system with a processor and memory storing instructions.
- The processor determines a first estimated outlet temperature value for the high-pressure turbine.
- The processor calculates the estimated work of the high-pressure turbine.
- The processor estimates the inlet temperature value for the high-pressure turbine using the estimated work.
- The processor calculates the ITT by determining a second estimated outlet temperature value using the estimated inlet temperature value.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in the aerospace industry for gas turbine engines to optimize engine performance and efficiency.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in accurately determining the ITT of a gas turbine engine, which is crucial for engine performance and safety.
Benefits
The system provides a more accurate and reliable method for determining the ITT of a gas turbine engine, leading to improved engine efficiency and performance.
Potential Commercial Applications

Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be similar systems used in gas turbine engines for temperature monitoring and control.
What are the potential safety implications of inaccurately determining the ITT of a gas turbine engine?
Inaccurately determining the ITT of a gas turbine engine can lead to engine overheating, which can result in engine failure and potentially catastrophic accidents.
How does this system compare to traditional methods of determining ITT in gas turbine engines?
This system provides a more advanced and accurate method for determining ITT compared to traditional methods, which may rely on less precise calculations or measurements.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for determining an indicated turbine temperature (ITT) for a gas turbine engine includes an engine control system. The engine control system includes a processor in communication with a non-transitory memory storing instructions, which instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine a first estimated outlet temperature value for a high-pressure turbine of the gas turbine engine, determine an estimated work ({dot over (W)}) of the high-pressure turbine, determine an estimated inlet temperature value for the high-pressure turbine using the estimated work ({dot over (W)}), and determine the ITT by calculating a second estimated outlet temperature value using the estimated inlet temperature value, the second estimated outlet temperature value different than the first estimated outlet temperature value.
