摘要： An online method, system, and computer-readable code for remotely monitoring radiant energy emitted from a turbine blade (106), which may be undergoing an incipient degradation, such as a crack, in a relatively low-temperature, and saturated steam environment of the low pressure stage of a steam turbine. The method and system provide sufficient temporal and spatial resolution to obtain high quality infrared images of the blade areas of interest enabling the system to identify the crack at any of those areas of the blade prior to such a crack growing to a critical length.

摘要： A system and method for early detection of a failure of a gas turbine engine airfoil (10), such as but not restricted to a burn through of the airfoil outer skin (12). A sensor (52) provides a signal (54) responsive to a condition of fluid flowing through an outer cooling chamber (24) of the airfoil. A detected change in the condition of the fluid is correlated to a failure of the airfoil, which for example can be detected by measuring the static fluid pressure. An increase in the static pressure of fluid in the outer cooling chamber may indicate a breach in the region of the leading edge of the airfoil. A decrease in the static pressure of fluid in the outer cooling chamber may indicate a breach along other portions of the profile of the airfoil outer skin. Both pressure and temperature parameters of the fluid may be measured and coincident changes thereof correlated to a condition of failure of the airfoil.

摘要： An optical inspection system is for visually inspecting the blades of a turbine at turning gear operation. The inspection system includes an imager for capturing images of the blades, an optical passage coupled to the imager and structured to provide maximum viewing area of the blades through an inspection port in the turbine and an illuminating assembly adapted to illuminate the blades while the imager captures images thereof. A method wherein the captured blade images are inspected for blade defects, is also disclosed.
