Evaluation of High-Temperature Pressure Sensors for Engine Optimization

喷气发动机动态工作压力的动态测量对于优化燃料使用和减少温室气体排放非常重要，但由于发动机运行时存在极端温度，因此具有挑战性。Fibos Inc.开发了一种光学压力传感器系统(UHT-PT)，该系统预计具有比航空工业中使用的传统传感器高得多的温度电阻。该项目旨在通过确定最佳传感器布置和布线、测量传感器系统的耐热性、寿命和稳定性，并将性能与传统传感器和理论模型进行比较，来在这种极端环境中优化UHT-PT传感器系统。技术领导将由百年学院工程技术与应用科学学院和运输学院的教职员工与Fibos的技术人员一起提供。该项目将直接支持菲博斯在大型喷气发动机上进行商业验证之前的战略技术开发。

On-the-fly measurement of dynamic operating pressure in jet engines is important for optimizing fuel usage and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but is challenging because of the extreme temperatures present in a running engine. Fibos Inc. has developed an optical pressure transducer system (UHT-PT) that is expected to have much higher temperature resistance than conventional sensors used in the aviation industry. This project seeks to optimize the UHT-PT sensor system in this extreme environment, by determining optimal sensor placement and routing, measuring the heat resistance, longevity, and stability of the sensor system, and comparing performance to conventional sensors and theoretical models. Technical leadership will be provided by faculty from Centennial College's School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science and School of Transportation, in conjunction with Fibos technical staff. This project will directly support Fibos strategic technology development prior to commercial validation on larger jet engines.
