THERMOCOUPLE SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE CASING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18086730 titled 'THERMOCOUPLE SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE CASING
The abstract describes a thermocouple support assembly designed to mount on a gas turbine casing. The assembly includes a thermocouple with a protective sheath and a support plate with an aperture for the sheath to pass through.
- The thermocouple support assembly is configured to mount on a gas turbine casing.
- It includes a thermocouple with a protective sheath extending from a connection end to a junction end.
- The support plate has an outer surface and an inner surface, with an aperture for the protective sheath to pass through.
- The junction end of the protective sheath is flush with the inner surface of the support plate.
Potential Applications: - Gas turbine monitoring and control systems - Industrial heating and cooling processes - Aerospace applications for temperature measurement
Problems Solved: - Secure mounting of thermocouples on gas turbine casings - Protection of thermocouples in high-temperature environments
Benefits: - Accurate temperature measurement in challenging conditions - Increased durability and longevity of thermocouples - Easy installation and maintenance of thermocouple support assembly
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Thermocouple Support Assembly for Gas Turbines" This technology can be used in gas turbine power plants, aerospace industry, and industrial manufacturing processes for efficient temperature monitoring and control.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the thermocouple support assembly improve temperature measurement accuracy in gas turbines? 2. What are the key advantages of using a protective sheath for the thermocouple in high-temperature environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
A thermocouple support assembly is provided. The thermocouple support assembly is configured to mount on a gas turbine casing. The thermocouple support assembly includes a thermocouple and a support plate. The thermocouple includes a protective sheath. The protective sheath extends from a connection end to a junction end. The support plate includes an outer surface and an inner surface and defines an aperture that extends between the outer surface and the inner surface. The protective sheath extends through the aperture such that the junction end is flush with the inner surface of the support plate.
