Application notes

High Temperature Gas Turbine combustion instrumentation

Our work on direct mount high temperature gas turbine combustion instrumentation versus a ‘stand-off’ or ‘waveguide’ installation. Enhanced sensitivity and pressure signal bandwidth due to direct mount approach.

Long Term Operation on Utility Scale Gas Turbine

In co-operation with a power station operator, Oxsensis installed a dynamic pressure sensor for long term testing on a 330MW gas turbine.

Optical Technology for Measurement of Exhaust Gas Pressure

In collaboration with the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, we tested a PT1100 sensor in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine.

Hydrogen fuel blend application

Running gas turbines on a hydrogen blend or 100% hydrogen fuel presents several challenges.  Oxsensis have developed a Multi-Measurand system which can monitor static pressure, dynamic pressure and temperature from a single sensor with high accuracy.

Oxsensis dynamic pressure measurement on a GE 9E engine

Oxsensis PD11 dynamic pressure sensor was installed on a GE 9E 124MW(e) gas turbine at the Stadtwerke München (SWM) power plant in the south of Munich, Germany. The installation was completed in collaboration with IfTA Systems GmbH.

PD11 Dynamic pressure measurement comparison with a piezoresistive sensor

As part of the Design Assurance Test (DAT)programme for the new PD11 dynamic pressure sensor, the performance of three PD11 sensors was compared with Kulite sensors (model XTL-123C-190) across a wide range of dynamic pressures and frequencies.
