Yes really, on every jet engine TIT is Total Inlet Temperature.
Yep.
I ask because I came across an interesting paragraph in the
T56-A-15 service manual yesterday. Went like this...
...measures the turbine inlet temperature by means of
thermocouples...Eighteen thermocouple assemblies are mounted in the
turbine inlet casing of each engine...One thermocouple of each
assembly is connected to the turbine inlet temperature indicating
system, and...one...is connected to the electronic datum control
system. The 18 indicating system thermocouples are connected in
parallel [!!] by the indicator turbine thermocouple harness
assembly,
I'm surprised you ever doubted the truth on this one!
So, let's revise.
That's going a bit too far... Nobody can revise the Tarver
Chronicles! :-)
bimetallic thermocouples generate millivolt signals,and paralleling
them would not work.Standard practice is to series-connect them,and
compare to a reference junction.Do these assemblies include signal
processing to convert the mV signal to a digital form,which could then
be sent on a parallel bus?

On every aircraft I ever worked on thermocouples were in parallel if
there were two or more.

Well,I guess they aren't bimetallic thermocouples,then.
Anyone have any speculation on what sort of signal will work with a
parallel connection?
