Abstract:
As the key component of aero-engines and industrial gas turbines, a bearing’s working temperature at high speed is close to 300 ℃. The measurement of an engine bearing’s temperature is of great significance to ensure flight safety. In this study, we present a wireless LC conformal temperature sensor for bearing temperatures, which integrates silver on the bearing surface in situ through a screen-printing process. This process makes Ag film (9912-K FL) firmly adhere to the bearing surface and realizes wireless measurements for bearing temperatures in situ. A high-temperature holding experiment of the prepared sensor was conducted, and the results showed that the sensor can work stably for 10 h at 300 ℃. We tested the designed wireless LC conformal temperature sensor at 20−270 ℃. The results showed that the proposed temperature sensor attained as good accuracy and stability in the temperature range 20−270 ℃. The sensitivity of the temperature measurements was 20.81 KHz/℃ when the bearing rotateds, the maximum repeatability was 0.039%, the maximum uncertainty was 0.081%, and the relative error was stable within 0.08%.

Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
