Turbine RTD Sensor

Turbine RTD sensors are specialised temperature measurement devices designed for use in turbine applications, particularly in power generation and industrial settings. These sensors are crucial for monitoring and controlling the temperature of various components within turbines.

Key features

• High accuracy and reliability for precise temperature measurement
• Durable construction to withstand harsh environments
• Wide temperature range, typically from -50°C to 400°C
• Mineral-insulated (MI) construction for excellent thermal conductivity and protection
• Stainless steel sheath for corrosion resistance
• Duplex configuration for redundancy and improved reliability

Turbine RTD sensors are commonly used to monitor:

• Turbine exhaust temperatures
• Bearing temperatures
• Oil temperatures
• Combustion temperatures

These sensors play a critical role in

• Ensuring efficient turbine operation
• Preventing overheating and potential damage
• Optimising performance and energy output
• Enhancing safety in power generation facilities

The use of turbine RTD sensors allows for high spatial resolution temperature measurements, which is particularly important for monitoring combustion temperature profiles in gas turbines.
