A torquemeter system is shown in fig. 12-4. In this system, the axial thrust produced by the helical gears is opposed by oil pressure acting on a number of pistons; the pressure required to resist the axial thrust is transmitted to the indicator.
20.
In addition to providing an indication of engine power; the torquemeter system may also be used to automatically operate the propeller feathering system if the torquemeter oil pressure falls due to a power failure. It is also used, on some installations, to assist in the automatic operation of the water injection system to restore or boost the take-off power at high ambient temperatures or at high altitude airports (Part 17).
Engine speed
21. All engines have their rotational speed (r.p.m.) indicated. On a twin or triple-spool engine, the high pressure assembly speed is always indicated; in most instances, additional indicators show the speed of the low pressure and intermediate pressure assemblies.
22. Engine speed indication is electrically transmitted from a small generator, driven by the engine, to an indicator that shows the actual revolutions per minute (r.p.m.), or a percentage of the maximum engine speed (fig. 12-5). The engine speed is often used to assess engine thrust, but it

26.除了提供轉(zhuǎn)子轉(zhuǎn)速的指示之外,轉(zhuǎn)速探頭中感應(yīng)的電流可以用來(lái)電亮儀表板上的警告燈,向駕駛員指示轉(zhuǎn)子組件正在轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。這在發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)起動(dòng)時(shí)特別重要,因?yàn)樗ㄖ{駛員何時(shí)打開燃油開關(guān),來(lái)向發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)供油。該燈與起動(dòng)電路相連,因而僅僅在起動(dòng)過(guò)程中才亮。
25.轉(zhuǎn)速探頭位于壓氣機(jī)機(jī)匣上,與音輪對(duì)齊。音輪是壓氣機(jī)軸上經(jīng)機(jī)械加工的部分。每轉(zhuǎn)一圈音輪外圓上的齒通過(guò)探頭一次,通過(guò)改變探頭中線圈的磁通量而誘導(dǎo)出一股電流。電流的大小由磁通量的變化率控制,因而與發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)速直接相關(guān)。
23.發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)速發(fā)電機(jī)供應(yīng)三相交流電,其頻率取決于發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)速。發(fā)電機(jī)的輸出頻率控制指示器中的同步馬達(dá)的轉(zhuǎn)速,位于鼓筒或阻力杯中的磁鐵組件的旋轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)致鼓筒的運(yùn)動(dòng),進(jìn)而轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)指示器的指針。
24.在沒(méi)有其它設(shè)備來(lái)驅(qū)動(dòng)發(fā)電機(jī)的場(chǎng)合,可以采用可變磁阻式轉(zhuǎn)速探頭,它與一個(gè)音輪相接,產(chǎn)生感應(yīng)電流,經(jīng)放大后送入指示器(圖12-6)。本方法可以用于提供發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的轉(zhuǎn)速指示,而不需有單獨(dú)驅(qū)動(dòng)的發(fā)電機(jī)以及其相應(yīng)的傳動(dòng)機(jī)構(gòu),因而減少了發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的部件和運(yùn)動(dòng)零件的數(shù)量。

29.用于將溫度信號(hào)傳到指示器的熱電偶探頭由兩種不同的金屬絲構(gòu)成,在一個(gè)金屬套管內(nèi)部連接在一起。套管上的一些傳導(dǎo)孔允許排氣流流過(guò)接點(diǎn)。用于制造熱電偶絲的材料通常是鎳鉻和鎳鋁合金。

does not give an absolute indication of the thrust being produced because inlet temperature and pressure conditions affect the thrust at a given engine speed.
23.
The engine speed generator supplies a three-phase alternating current, the frequency of which is dependent upon engine speed. The generator output frequency controls the speed of a synchronous motor in the indicator, and rotation of a magnet assembly housed in a drum or drag cup induces movement of the drum and consequent movement of the indicator pointer,
24.
Where there is no provision for driving a generator, a variable-reluctance speed probe, in conjunction with a phonic wheel, may be used to induce an electric current that is amplified and then transmitted to an indicator (fig. 12-6). This method can be used to provide an indication of r.p.m. without the need for a separately driven generator, with its associated drives, thus reducing the number of components and moving parts in the engine.
