Thermocoax is ahead of the curve in providing heating solutions for manufacturers of gas turbines, diesel engines and fuel cells.
With our drive for continuous innovation, Thermocoax designs and makes state-of-the-art sensors, thermocouples and signal transmission cables for the latest environmentally friendly power generation platforms. Based on our renowned mineral insulated cable technology, we deliver cutting-edge designs that function optimally at extreme temperatures for longer.
Always ready to support our OEM clients, we are also committed to providing a reliable maintenance package for the various applications.
For the gas turbine market, our thermocouples are coated with specific alloys to ensure a longer operating life. For high-temperature and noisy environments, our high-quality signal transmission cables are indispensable for connecting strain gauges and other sensing elements. Our heating products are also certified for power generation applications on military aircraft.
Sustainable Solutions in Power Generation
Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in power generation rely on the fact that our thermal solutions perform at high temperatures and for longer. Thermocoax is a key supplier to heavy duty gas turbine manufacturers in Europe and North America. Our temperature harnesses are also present in more than 15,000 helicopter engines across the world.
Mineral Insulated Cable for Power Generation Applications
Thermocouples
Thermocoax is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of a wide range of thermocouples. In the area of power generation, we supply thermocouples for compressors, turbines, exhaust lines, strokes for power penetration test programmes & production.
For the gas turbine market, thermocouples can be customised with a specific sheath alloy (e.g. Haynes) so that our clients are guaranteed more than 24,000 operating hours.
Heating elements
Our new heating elements solutions are designed to respond to a variety of challenges in power generation equipment. For example, to relieve internal stress of metals when repairs are being carried out on equipment.
Clients can shape the heaters to fit the required area needing stress treatment. Thermocoax heating elements can reach temperatures up to 1000°C, thus avoiding the need for a costly furnace treatment.
Thermocoax also offers heating blankets that keep power generation modules warm for installation operations. And a heating system on nozzles, designed for starting up coal power generation plants.
Solution-specific sensors
With our brands TURBOCOAX® and Negacoax®, we are responding to the needs of turbine manufacturers in the area of performance, safety and reliability.
For blade tip clearance, tip timing, and debris monitoring in turbine engines, TURBOCOAX® capacitive sensors are an essential solution developed using ceramic/metal brazing techniques.
Our Negacoax® linear sensor is integrated in overheat and fire detectors for military and commercial applications. This innovative technology is vital in the aerospace industry for indicating the location of the overheat condition to the aircraft crew’s warning system.
Generating added value
At THERMOCOAX, state-of-the-art is our middle name! Which means our engineers and designers are constantly looking for ways to improve sensors in the power generation market. Our products perform efficiently and reliably when exposed to extreme temperatures and conditions, precisely because of the innovations of our engineering teams.
And we like nothing more than to meet the needs of our clients – from conception, to prototype development right through to production. We are the sole manufacturer for 1300°C capacitive sensors without a cooling system, offering an elegant integrated solution.
And our ceramic/metal brazing at 1 500°C means we can provide the best sensor solutions for turbines in the aerospace industry.
Last but not least, THERMOCOAX doesn’t stop working after delivery of the product. We are also committed to offering our customers a high-quality maintenance service.
