Abstract
A pressure sensing system includes a housing that houses one or more pressure transducers therein. A tube is sealed to the housing at a first end of the tube. One or more pressure transducers are in fluid communication with a second end of the tube through an inner passage of the tube for sensing pressure at the second end of the tube.
Claims20
A pressure sensing system comprising:
- a housing that houses one or more pressure transducers therein;
- a tube sealed to the housing at a first end of the tube;
- and
- one or more pressure transducers in fluid communication with a second end of the tube through an inner passage of the tube for sensing pressure at the second end of the tube, wherein the tube defines a labyrinthine path through a heat exchanger.

A gas turbine engine system comprising:
- an engine case;
- a housing that houses one or more pressure transducers therein, wherein the housing includes a manifold flange with the one or more pressure transducers in fluid communication with respective ports in the manifold flange;
- a tube sealed to the manifold flange at a first end of the tube, the tube defining a labyrinthine path through a heat exchanger, wherein the respective ports in the manifold flange are each in fluid communication with an inner passage of the tube, wherein the one or more pressure transducers are in fluid communication with a second end of the tube through the inner passage of the tube for sensing pressure at the second end of the tube;
- and
- a case flange configured to be mounted to the engine case in fluid communication with an interior flow path of the engine case, wherein the case flange is connected in fluid communication with the second end of the tube for fluid communication of pressure from the interior flow path of the engine case, through the case flange, through the inner passage of the tube, and through the ports in the manifold flange, for pressure sensing pressure in the engine case by the one or more pressure transducers.
