摘要:
A method and system adjusts blade tip clearance between rotating aircraft gas turbine engine blade tips and a surrounding shroud in anticipation of and before an engine command that changes an engine rotational speed. The method may include determining when to begin adjusting the tip clearance by expanding or contracting the shroud before the engine command and may be based on monitored aircraft and/or aircraft crew data indicative of the engine. The aircraft and/or aircraft crew data may include communications between aircraft crew and air traffic control authorities or air traffic control surrogates. Determining when to begin adjusting the tip clearance may include using learning algorithms which may use the aircraft gas turbine engine's operating experience and/or operating experience of other jet engines on an aircraft containing the aircraft gas turbine engine and/or on other aircraft.
摘要:
A method for estimating a trend in exhaust gas temperature in a turbine engine includes sampling exhaust gas temperature and a plurality of variables associated with the exhaust gas temperature over a set of observation times for a turbine engine to acquire exhaust gas temperature data. A trend in the exhaust gas temperature for the specific turbine engine is identified by removing the effect of the plurality of variables on the exhaust gas temperature data.

A seal assembly (100) for a gas turbine engine (10) including a stationary stator member (102) and a rotating member (104). The seal assembly includes a primary seal assembly (106), and a secondary seal assembly (108), the primary seal assembly including a moveable stator member (110) including at least one keyed slot (118), and at least one biasing member (114) including at least one key (116) slidably coupled within the at least one keyed slot to facilitate aligning the primary seal assembly and the secondary seal assembly with respect to the gas turbine engine.
摘要:
A sensor system (30) for measuring a clearance (32) between a stationary component (22) and a rotating component (16) of a rotating machine (10) is provided. The system includes a clearance sensor (24) to output a clearance measurement signal. A sensor memory (98) is attached to the sensor (24) for storing a first sensor information. A second sensor information is stored in a electronics interface memory (94). The first and the second sensor information are read and the clearance sensor is matched with a respective plurality of calibration data by an electronic interface (92) based on the first and the second sensor information.
摘要:
A method to compensate for blade tip clearance deterioration between rotating blade tips (82) and a surrounding shroud (72) in an aircraft gas turbine engine (10) includes determining one or more variables based on at least one or more moving averages of one or more engine operating parameters respectively averaged over a fixed number of operational engine flight cycles and adjusting a flow rate of thermal control air (36) to counter the blade tip clearance deterioration based on the one or more variables. The engine operating parameters may include running number of engine cycles, takcoff and cruise exhaust gas temperature margins, a cruise turbine efficiency, takeoff and cruise maximum turbine speeds, a cruise fuel flow. Some or all of the variables may be differences between the moving averages and corresponding baselines of the engine operating parameters respectively or the variables may all be moving averages. The flow rate may be adjusted incrementally.
