Description du projet/ Project Description

This project is divided in two sub-projects: Pressure MEMS sensors for GTE applications and Temperature MEMS arrays for GTE applications. This last portion is already completed. The effort over the past 6 months was directed mainly towards the MEMS demonstrator. A detection system comprising two dynamic pressure sensors and two temperature sensors in a redundant configuration have been built in 10 prototypes. The design and the realization of the sensor did follow the specs of the product produced by PWC. The 10 systems have been tested to temperature and vibrations according to the specs provided by PWC. One of the system was installed on the engine (bell mouth) in the test rig and used to measure the fan RPM against the present measurement system that is quite heavy. A significant accomplishment was possible through the excellent collaboration among PWC, Concordia and ETS. The team has requested a six mount delay without any budget change to complete task 11: Implement the micro sensors for testing on the ground equipment. And task 12: Refinement of the design, packaging and test which is completed at 80%. Two international collaborations where developped during that project, one with Louvain-la-Neuve and one with The Catholic University of Brussels both Belgium.


Objectifs/ Objectives
La recherche fournira à l'industrie des microcapteurs MEMS pour améliorer la performance et la sûreté de turbines à gaz. En particulier :
prouver le concept de systèmes de contrôle et de suivi de turbines à gaz basé sur les MEMS par l'intégration de systèmes existants;
développer un capteur de pression pour mesures dynamiques à température élevée;
configurer des capteurs de température pour le suivi des conditions de bon fonctionnement ou pour des essais de développement.

The objectives of the research are to provide the industrial partners with MEMS-based microsensors that will enhance the performance and safety of gas turbine jet engines. In particular:
prove the concept of MEMS based control and monitoring systems for gas jet engines through the integration of existent systems;
develop a pressure sensor to measure the dynamic pressure in a high temperature environment;
implement temperature sensors for health monitoring or development testing purposes.
