Supply tube for sensor

A cabin air compressor (CAC), comprising:

• a compressor outlet through which a main flowpath is defined;
• a sensor port integrally and transversely coupled to the compressor outlet to form an acute angle with the compressor outlet,
• wherein the compressor outlet is configured such that a predominant direction of flow through the main flow path is substantially straight immediately upstream of and immediately downstream from the sensor port;
• a sensor coupled to the sensor port;
• a first tube formed to direct main flowpath fluid from the compressor outlet and through a portion of the sensor port to the sensor and comprising first and second ends disposed within the sensor port and the compressor outlet, respectively, and a curved section interposed between the first and second ends;
• and
• a second tube comprising a sleeve tightly fittable between the first end and the sensor port and a base having an exterior surface from which the sleeve extends at a same angle as the acute angle formed between the sensor port and the compressor outlet, the exterior surface being disposed and configured to non-rotatably abut with an interior surface of the compressor outlet,
• wherein the first tube has an acute J-shaped profile which corresponds to the acute angle such that:
• the second end extends in parallel with the predominant direction of flow of the main flowpath fluid along the main flowpath toward an inlet of the curved section, and
• the first end extends from an outlet of the curved section in a direction having radially outward and aft components respectively defined relative to a longitudinal axis of the compressor outlet and the predominant direction of flow of the main flowpath fluid.

• a sensor supply tube assembly non-rotatably disposable in the compressor outlet and the sensor port to direct main flowpath fluid from the compressor outlet and through a portion of the sensor port to the pressure sensor along first and second acutely transverse flowpaths that form an angle that is a same angle as the acute angle and along a curved flowpath interposed between the first and second flowpaths,
• the first flowpath extending in parallel with the predominant direction of flow of the main flowpath fluid flow along the main flowpath toward an inlet of the curved flowpath, and
• the second flowpath extending from an outlet of the curved flowpath in a direction having radially outward and aft components respectively defined relative to a longitudinal axis of the compressor outlet and the predominant direction of flow of the main flowpath fluid.
