Kaye Solutions for Jet Engine Test Stands

Application at a Glance

In the development, design, and optimization of jet engines and gas turbines, precise knowledge of the temperature profile under various operating conditions is a crucial foundation and provides valuable insights for development. The fixed monitoring systems installed in so-called test stands are exposed to extreme conditions such as vibration, high ambient temperature, and dust. Depending on the size of the engine, up to 900 measurement points for temperature detection may be required.

Thermocouples are the preferred sensors for this purpose. Due to their rapid response time and wide temperature range, thermocouples are frequently chosen for these measurement tasks.

For over 65 years, Kaye has been a global leader in the development and supply of thermocouple reference systems. From the first patented development of the Ice Point Reference in the 1960s to the patented Uniform Temperature References, Kaye has been at the forefront of providing solutions for critical applications in aerospace and other industrial markets that require precise temperature measurement using thermocouples.

The Kaye Ice Point References offer an optimal solution for cold junction compensation in thermocouple measuring circuits, particularly in industrial applications. From fixed 0°C Ice Point References, which offer an accuracy of 0.02°C without long-term drift, to our passive Uniform Temperature References, which cover areas with high temperature gradients and vibrations, Kaye has a solution to meet your requirements.

Kaye’s expertise in thermocouple measurement and error source determination offers maximum accuracy in terms of automatic temperature referencing systems. Additionally, our systems allow seamless integration into existing monitoring architectures, enhancing user-friendliness and efficiency.
