ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for detecting gas turbine engine hot section condition using temperature measurements during engine operation. The system comprises a sensing unit for sensing a temperature distribution across a hot combustion gas stream generated by a gas turbine engine combustor. A signal processor receives temperature signals from the sensing unit and generates a combustor malfunction signal when the difference between a maximal temperature and a minimal temperature of the sensed temperature distribution is greater than a predetermined acceptable delta value.
