Gas Turbine Monitoring With Kistler Pressure And Acceleration Sensors Measurements Directly In The Combustor Delivers Reliable Results!

May 2020 MARIETTA, GA ~ Lean Dry Low NOx combustion is characterized by potentially highly unstable processes. However, with pressure pulsation and vibration monitoring, combustion dynamics can be kept under control. Kistler sensors measure directly in the combustor and deliver reliable results. Kistler’s extensive portfolio is comprised of a variety of modular sensors including Ex-versions certified in accordance with strict ATEX directives.
