BEARING ASSEMBLY FOR A THRUST BEARING
A bearing assembly for a turbo-engine with a bearing and parts of a bearing temperature detecting device. The bearing includes a main body having a thermoplastic bearing layer. A space is defined in the interior of the main body and of the thermoplastic bearing layer for accommodating parts of the bearing temperature detecting device. The space has a through hole having a first opening in the thermoplastic bearing layer and a second opening located in the main body. The parts include a temperature conducting element, a temperature sensor, and a securing fixture that attaches the temperature conducting element. The first opening of the through hole has a chamfer and the first end of temperature conducting element has a head which is correspondingly shaped to the chamfer in a form fitting manner. The center-axis of the temperature sensor extends transversely to the center-axis of the temperature conducting element.
ASSEMBLY COMPRISING TWO CONCENTRIC TUBULAR PORTIONS AND A SET OF SENSORS FOR SENSING THERMAL FLOW INSIDE THE OUTER TUBULAR PORTION
An assembly having an outer tubular portion delimiting an inner space, an inner tubular portion in the outer tubular portion, a fluid jacket in the inner tubular portion, a plurality of groups of at least four thermal flow sensors. For each group, the sensors of the group are disposed in the inner space and overall in one and the same plane perpendicular to a central line. In each group, the sensors of the group are distributed angularly about the central line. A control unit which, for each group, receives the data from each sensor of the group and which, on the basis of these data, determines a warning level. With such an arrangement, the monitoring of the values of the different thermal flow sensors makes it possible to monitor a potential problem at the fluid jacket.
