摘要:
Apparatus and method of monitoring for obstructions in a pipe or channel. The method comprising the steps of: (1) transmitting a wave into a first end of the pipe or channel from a transmitting transducer at a first known location relative to the pipe or channel, wherein the frequency f of the transmitted wave (13) varies in a predictable manner governed by the function f=f(t), where t is time; (2) noting the frequency f tr of the transmitted wave; (3) detecting any reflections of the transmitted wave travelling towards the first end of the pipe or channel at a receiving transducer at a second known location relative to the pipe or channel; (4) determining the frequency f rec of the reflected wave (14); (5) comparing the frequency f tr of the transmitted wave and the frequency f rec of the reflected wave, being transmitted from and being received by the respective transducers at the same time t; and 6)determining the distance L from the transmitting transducer to an obstruction and back to the receiving transducer from the difference Δf between the frequency f tr and the frequency f rec .

A method is provided for determining timing points indicative of the passage of a blade in a turbine engine. The method comprises the steps of: providing a first sensing coil proximate to a path of the blade, providing a second sensing coil proximate to the path of the blade, the second sensing coil spaced from the first sensing coil in a direction parallel to the path of the blade, and comparing a signal generated in the first sensing coil with a signal generated in the second sensing coil to derive a timing point indicative of the passage of the blade.

A mounting terminal head of a thermocouple head unit having a metal casing for an end of a thermocouple wire, and thermocouple signal terminals 4 for connection to a thermocouple wire. The thermocouple head unit includes an insulating support member 8 extending around the outside of the thermocouple head unit and supporting the thermocouple signal terminals.
摘要:
A method (and corresponding apparatus) for monitoring gas turbine blades. The output from an eddy current sensor monitoring the movement of turbine blades past the sensor is processed to determine when the signal train from the sensor omits a signal or pulse corresponding to one of the shaft's full complement of blades. The signal processor compares sensed blade periods with average blade periods, by determining a ratio value. The number of omitted pulses is determined by comparing the ratio with typical ranges for a particular number of omitted pulses.
摘要:
A method (and corresponding apparatus) for monitoring the rotational speed of the shaft of a gas turbine having a number of spaced blades on or rotating with the shaft. The invention compensates for the errors which arise from the relative movement of turbine blade tips by deriving a correction factor for each blade and continually updating that correction factor.
