Non-heated De-iced total Air Temperature Sensors
Every 2 seconds, one of Auxitrol Weston’s non-heated de-iced total air temperature sensors—trusted aerospace temperature sensors—takes off. The reliability of our parts has been proven on the world’s best-selling engines for inlet temperature measurement since the early 1990s.
Non-heated de-iced sensors provide excellent performance in ice crystal and low ice accretion conditions. They are a competitive alternative to heated sensors and are widely used in aerospace applications where power-free operation is preferred. Their installation is also simpler, as no power supply is required. These aerospace temperature sensors are developed and tested in our in-house, state-of-the-art icing wind tunnel that meets the latest standards for icing conditions, supported by advanced numeric analysis tools.
Each de-iced temperature sensor is developed through close cooperation with the customer to adapt it to the application and ensure that de-icing is maximized and well understood. These sensors can be made available in a variety of shapes to suit their location or the size of the engine, in single or dual channel versions.
