Support system for fiber optic components in harsh environment machines

A multiplexed sensor system (78) includes a control unit (62) in communication with a plurality of sensors (64, 66, 68, 82). A plurality of optic fibers (74A, 74B) that defines a communication path between the sensors and the control unit. A multiplexing portion (67) communicates with the sensors al...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A multiplexed sensor system (78) includes a control unit (62) in communication with a plurality of sensors (64, 66, 68, 82). A plurality of optic fibers (74A, 74B) that defines a communication path between the sensors and the control unit. A multiplexing portion (67) communicates with the sensors along a common one of the optic fibers and a protected channel (72) through which at least a portion of the optic fibers are routed. The protected channel at least partially surrounds and shields the optic fibers from an environment outside the protected channel. A cooling flow is provided through the protective channel for minimizing temperature fluctuations within the protective channel.
