Abstract

See full text

A system and method for detecting a fluid leak in a turbomachine. The turbomachine includes a high temperature fluid source, at least one fluid distribution pipe adapted to distribute the fluid to different parts of the turbomachine and/or an aircraft which is to be equipped with the turbomachine, a turbomachine compartment in which the distribution pipe is at least partly accommodated, the compartment having in operation a low temperature relative to the high temperature of the fluid supplied by the fluid source. The method includes measuring a temperature variation in the compartment between two instants to obtain a temperature gradient, and detecting a fluid leak when the temperature gradient is greater than or equal to a threshold temperature gradient.
