摘要:
Chopper circuitry may be adapted to operate in a high-temperature environment of a turbine. A first semiconductor switch (122) may have a first terminal coupled to receive a first output signal from a first leg (148) of a differential amplifier (150). A second switch (128) may have a first terminal coupled thru a first resistive element (R1) to a second terminal of the first semiconductor switch. The first terminal of the second semiconductor switch may be coupled to receive thru a second resistive element (R2) a second output signal from a second leg (152) of the amplifier. Switches (122,128) may be responsive to a switching control signal to respective gate terminals of the switches to supply an output signal, which alternates in correspondence with a frequency of the switching control signal from a first amplitude level to a second amplitude level, which effectively provides a doubling amplification factor.
摘要:
A telemetry system for use in a combustion turbine engine (10) that includes a first sensor (306) in connection with a turbine blade (301) or vane (22). A first telemetry transmitter circuit (312) is affixed to the turbine blade and routes electronic data signals, indicative of a condition of the blade, from the sensor to a rotating data antenna (314) that is affixed to the turbine blade or is on a same substrate as that of the circuit. A stationary data antenna (333) may be affixed to a stationary component (323) proximate and in spaced relation to the rotating data antenna for receiving electronic data signals from the rotating data antenna. A second sensor (335) transmits electronic data signals indicative of the stationary component to a second telemetry circuit (332), which routes the signals to the stationary antenna. The stationary antenna transmits the electronic data signals to a receiver (338).
摘要:
A circuit assembly (34) affixed to a moving part (20) of a turbine for receiving information about a condition of the part and transmitting this information external to the engine. The circuit assembly includes a high-temperature resistant package (34A) that attaches to the part. A high temperature resistant PC board (42) supports both active and passive components of the circuit, wherein a first group of the passive components are fabricated with zero temperature coefficient of resistance and a second group of the passive components are fabricated with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance. The active components are fabricated with high temperature metallization. Connectors (40) attached to the PC board pass through a wall of the package (34A) for communication with sensors (30) on the part and with an antenna (26) for transmitting data about the condition of the part to outside the turbine.
