SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FAULT SENSING FLOW COMPONENTS

Abstract:

A turbomachine for a vehicle is provided. The turbomachine includes a manifold configured to channel a flow of fluid therethrough; a first pressure measurement device in communication with the manifold and configured to determine a first pressure difference; a second pressure measurement device in communication with the manifold and configured to determine a second pressure difference; a data selector device in communication with the first pressure measurement device and the second pressure measurement device, wherein the data selector device receives the first and second pressure difference and uses a logic circuit to generate a single pressure signal; and an engine controller operably coupled to the data selector device such that the engine controller receives the single pressure signal indicating a pressure differential of the manifold.
