The Bently Nevada 350500-00-00-00-11-00 is a Dynamic Pressure Charge Amplifier (DPCA) designed as a fundamental signal conditioning component for specialized gas turbine monitoring applications. Its primary function is to monitor high-frequency pressure pulsations that manifest due to combustion instability inside industrial gas turbine engines.
The complete sensing system encompasses a charge-coupled piezoelectric pressure sensor, a specialized low-noise interconnect cable, the 350500 charge amplifier, and an external monitoring device. The high-temperature piezoelectric sensor converts detected dynamic pressure fluctuations into a raw electrostatic charge signal scaled in pico-coulombs per unit of pressure (pC/psi or pC/bar). The 350500-00-00-00-11-00 interfaces with this sensor to convert the high-impedance charge signal into a low-impedance voltage output. This processed voltage signal is fully compatible with rack-mounted monitoring devices, such as the Bently Nevada 3500/64 Dynamic Pressure Monitor. The standard electrical interface from the monitor to the charge amplifier supplies -24 Vdc power, instrument common, and signal return paths over the exact same structural wiring layout utilized by standard Bently Nevada proximity probe systems.
