  • Publication number: 20250361818
    Abstract: An adapter includes a cup having an inner portion proportioned to retain a sensor probe such that a face of the sensor probe is exposed to an interior of a gas turbine, where the inner portion includes a sidewall and a lip. The cup also includes one or more channels extending along the sidewall and across the lip. The adapter includes a mounting flange, where the one or more channels are configured to direct a gas from an exterior of the gas turbine across the face of the sensor probe.

  • Patent number: 12467376
    Abstract: A lead cooling assembly includes a cooling jacket including a tubular section having an exterior portion and an interior portion, where the interior portion is proportioned to surround a probe lead and provide space for a flow of a gaseous coolant. The lead cooling assembly also includes an intake configured to admit the gaseous coolant into the interior portion of the cooling jacket. The lead cooling assembly further includes a collar configured to fit over the exterior portion of the cooling jacket, where the collar includes one or more exit holes configured to pass the gaseous coolant out of the interior portion of the cooling jacket.

  • Patent number: 11686577
    Abstract: An angled face cap probe includes a housing having a radially inner end and a radially outer end, defining a cavity, and configured to be located radially outward from an airfoil. The angled face cap probe further includes a sensor located in the cavity at the radially inner end of the housing, having a sensor body with a sensing face that is angled to match or substantially match an angle of a radially outward face the airfoil, and having a sensor flat that is elongated in a first direction. The angled face cap probe further includes an outer cap located in the cavity, coupled to the housing, and having an outer cap main body and cap legs that extend radially inward from the outer cap main body to interface with the sensor flat to resist rotation of the sensor relative to the housing.
