Abstract
A probe for determining the swirl angle of the exhaust gasses of a turbine engine, has an elongate body with a fastener, the elongate body having a tip at its proximal end and a head at its distal end, the elongate body having at least two passageways extending from the tip to the head, each passageway having an aperture at the tip and a port at the head which is connectable to a pressure sensor.
Claims12
A probe for determining a swirl angle of exhaust gasses of a turbine engine, the probe comprising:
- an elongate body with fastening means, the elongate body having:
- a tip at a proximal end of the elongate body and
- a head at a distal end of the elongate body,
- at least three passageways extending from the tip to the head, each of a first and second of the passageways having an aperture at the tip and a port at the head which is connectable to a respective first pressure sensor and second pressure sensor, a third of the passageways extending from the tip to the head and having an aperture at the tip facing away from the aperture of the first passageway and an aperture of the second passageway, the third passageway facing a rearward direction and having a port at the head which is connectable to a third pressure sensor, wherein the rearward direction is a direction facing toward a rear of the turbine engine in operation.
