  • Systems and methods for detecting chips in fluid of aircraft engine
    Patent number: 10705038
    Abstract: There is described herein methods and systems for detecting of metallic chips in a fluid system of an aircraft engine. A resistance value is measured across a magnetic chip detector mounted to a fluid system of the aircraft engine. The resistance value is transmitted to an engine computer of the aircraft engine. In the engine computer, The resistance value is compared to a first threshold and a first warning indicative of a chip in the fluid is issued when the resistance value exceeds the first threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2020
    Assignee: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORP.

    Publication number: 20180031504
    Abstract: There is described herein methods and systems for detecting of metallic chips in a fluid system of an aircraft engine. The method comprises measuring a resistance value across a magnetic chip detector mounted to a fluid system of the aircraft engine and transmitting the resistance value to an engine computer of the aircraft engine. The method further comprises, in the engine computer, comparing the resistance value to a first threshold and issuing a first warning indicative of a chip in the fluid when the resistance value exceeds the first threshold.
