Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a mounting portion arranged to support a sensing device, a thermal shunt portion extending from the mounting portion, and a housing portion. The housing portion extends from the thermal shunt portion and is arranged on a side of the thermal shunt portion opposite the mounting portion to limit temperature of a sensor connector fixed to the housing portion of the sensor assembly. Gas turbine engines having sensor assemblies and methods of making sensor assemblies are also described.
Claims11
A sensor assembly, comprising:
- a sensor connector;
- a mounting portion spaced apart from the sensor connector;
- a thermal shunt portion extending from the mounting portion;
- and
- a housing portion having the sensor connector mounted thereon and extending from the thermal shunt portion, wherein the housing portion is arranged on a side of the thermal shunt portion opposite the mounting portion to limit heat conducted to the sensor connector;
- wherein the thermal shunt portion comprises an airfoil structure extending between the housing portion and the mounting portion of the sensor assembly;
- wherein the airfoil structure comprises an airfoil having a leading edge, wherein the leading edge extends from the mounting portion to the housing portion of the sensor assembly.
