The exhaust gas temperature (E.G.T ) indicator on a gas turbine engine provides a relative indication of the
- turbine inlet temperature.
- temperature of the exhaust gases as they pass the exhaust cone.
- exhaust temperature.
Explanation
True turbine inlet temperature is too high to measure reliably with a probe, so EGT is taken further downstream and used as a relative indication of the turbine inlet temperature. Monitoring EGT therefore protects the turbine against overtemperature.
Diverdeep asking:
The exhaust gas temperature (EGT) is typically defined as the gas temperature at the exit of the turbine
