Engine Instrument Flashcards
What measures the average temperature within a jet turbine engine?
The EGT Probe. The turbine inlet temperature is measured for a propeller turbine engine
What are the two interconnected elements that the Tachometer indicator consists of?
The driving element & eddy current drag speed indicating element
What are the Thermocouple Main Components?
Thermocouple
Extension/Compensating Loads
Indicator
The A.C. Tachometer consists of?
3-phase generator and indicator
Engine Speed is directly proportional to?
The Frequency of Voltage
For an EGT thermocouple thermometer, the hot junction is what and the cold junction is what?
The hot junction is the thermocouple probe while the cold junction is the millivoltmeter. Leads are made of similar material to that of the sensors so as to prevent the creation of a thermocouple effect
