The Product
Tyco Thermal Controls has successfully developed & marketed a series of high temperature clearance measurement systems
which accurately and reliably monitor a wide range of clearances within the modern gas turbine engine. One of the main features of
the system is the ability of sensors to withstand tip temperatures up to 2550°F (1400°C).
The system uses our patented sensor design that can be used with either AM or FM electronics for compressor and turbine tip-clearance
measurements, rotor shaft and disc displacement.
The system uses advanced electronic processing to output real-time clearance information, and may be configured to assist with
engine health monitoring, blade vibration and rotodynamic measurements.
Quality Approvals
Tyco Thermal Controls operates a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001 2000.
The company have enjoyed many years of tip clearance business with prestigious customers, in the aerospace and power generation industries.
Research and Development
Tyco Thermal Controls is dedicated to a continuous research &development program to improve the system performance and raise
sensor operating temperatures and accuracy.
From inception in the mid-1990s to the present day, the dedicated, continuous improvement process has led to enhancements in
cable manufacture, electronics and product design.
The patented layered probe technology together with tri-axial cable has culminated in a more reliable and stable system that is
less affected by noise, interference and leakage current.
Sensor Design and Manufacture
The sensor design and manufacture areas have a team of professional engineers with many years experience in electrical, mechanical and
materials engineering.
Working in conjunction with sub-tiers and customers, the design team tailor sensor systems to meet client's individual needs.
Tyco Thermal Controls' superior knowledge of cable design, probe technology and electronic compatibility makes the clearance system one
of the most technically advanced systems currently available.
Service
In addition to the design, manufacture and supply of measurement systems, Tyco Thermal Controls offers sensor advice and full calibration
service.
