Abstract

Improved temperature detection system for use on film cooled turbine airfoils having a showerhead assembly with a series of parallel slots defined in the leading edge of an airfoil, each slot having a multiplicity of film flow ports exiting therefrom. A plurality of sensor assemblies are affixed to the airfoil showerhead and are couplable via electrodes to electronic sensing equipment for establishing the gas flow temperature.
