CDMS Specifications
Data Sheets for Combustion Dynamics Monitoring System
- CDMS System for use in General Electric Frame 7 and 9 gas turbines
- CDMS System for use in Siemens 501 series of gas turbines

Davidson's temperature-tolerant sensors are designed to be positioned flush with the inside of the basket/liner on the Siemens and GE engines where they make direct high-fidelity measurements of the combustion dynamics. The signal is reproduced without any distortion due to waveguides, attenuation, or resonance. Further, the sensors are not adversely affected by vibration, grounding, EMI, or thermal transients.
