Abstract
A probe for measuring the total pressure of a flow and a method for implementing the probe is provided. The probe is intended to be fitted in an aircraft. The probe comprises a Pitot tube and means for reheating the probe assembly. The probe also comprises means for measuring a local temperature of regions of the Pitot tube likely to accumulate particles conveyed by the flow independently of the means for determining the average temperature of the probe. If the temperature delivered by the means for measuring a local temperature of regions of the Pitot tube likely to accumulate particles conveyed by the flow is less than the first reference temperature, then an additional reheating of regions of the Pitot tube likely to accumulate particles conveyed by the flow is triggered.
