The objective of this project is to develop an on-engine high-resolution temperature mapping technique using continuum or 'snake' robot technology in combination with an advanced detection system.UK is the first country to sign legislation zero net carbon emissions by 2050\. Sustainable Aviation Fuels and advanced propulsion systems are in the forefront of these effort. Higher efficiencies can be achieved with higher firing temperature. Both pathways require the design of new more robust materials and cooling schemes to withstand the harsh thermal conditions. Hence a complete knowledge of temperature distributions within the engine will be essential for the design process of modern aircraft engines.Sensor Coating Systems (SCS) has developed a unique temperature mapping technology that enables OEMs to validate new designs in the aviation and power generation gas turbine industry. The technology uses a combination of temperature memory materials, advances in optical instrumentation and automation to generate digitised maps with hundreds and thousands of data points. Currently the measurements are conducted 'off-engine': the components are interrogated in a laboratory which requires the disassembly of the engine -- a costly and time-consuming exercise!With this project, SCS aims to significantly reduce the time and costs for design validation, by applying its unique thermal mapping technology 'on-engine', saving hundreds of working hours and thousands of pounds in running costs. Snake-robot technology will enable accessibility in components inside the engine, which is not possible at the moment, and an advanced optical system will enable both simultaneous luminescence and spectral measurements.

该项目的目的是使用Continuum或“ Sneke”机器人技术与高级检测系统结合使用台引擎高分辨率温度映射技术。UK是第一个在2050年之前签署零净碳排放零的国家。可持续的航空燃料和先进的推进系统处于这些努力的最前沿。通过较高的射击温度可以实现较高的效率。两种途径都需要设计新的更强大的材料和冷却方案，以承受恶劣的热条件。因此，对发动机内的温度分布的完整知识对于现代飞机发动机的设计过程至关重要。传感器涂料系统（SCS）开发了一种独特的温度映射技术，使OEM能够验证航空和发电式燃气轮机行业中的新设计。该技术结合了温度记忆材料，光学仪器和自动化的进步，以生成数百万个数据点的数字化图。目前，进行测量是“非引擎”进行的：在实验室中询问了这些组件，该实验室需要拆卸引擎 - 这是一种昂贵且耗时的练习！通过此项目，SCS旨在大大减少设计验证的时间和成本，通过运用其独特的热量映射技术来维持数百磅的成本和数千磅的运行时间，从而减少了设计验证的时间和成本。 Snake-Robot技术将使发动机内部的组件可访问性，目前是不可能的，并且先进的光学系统将同时发光和光谱测量值。
