Abstract:
A diagnostic system and method for monitoring operating conditions of turbine machine components (18, 19, 22, 23) that comprise one or more non-contact sensors (24, 31) that detect an operating condition of a turbine component (18, 19, 22, 23) over a defined region of the component. In addition, point sensors (50) are provided that detect and monitor the same operating condition within the defined region. Data generated from the point sensor (50) is used to calibrate the non-contact sensor (24, 31) and the data generated by the non-contact sensor (24, 31).
Abstract:
A wear sensor (30, 50, 60) installed on a surface area (24) of a component (20, 21) subject to wear from an opposing surface (74, 75). The sensor has a proximal portion (32A, 52A, 62A) and a distal portion (32C, 52C, 62C) relative to a wear starting position (26). An electrical circuit (40) measures an electrical characteristic such as resistance of the sensor, which changes with progressive reduction of the sensor from the proximal portion to the distal portion during a widening reduction wear of the surface from the starting position. The measuring circuit quantifies the electrical changes to derive a wear depth based on a known geometry of the wear depth per wear width. In this manner, wear depth may be measured with a surface mounted sensor.

There is described a two-Level Layer System with Pyrochlore Phase and Oxides. Besides a good thermal insulation property, thermal insulation layer systems must also have a long lifetime of the thermal insulation layer. The layer system has a layer sequence of a metallic bonding layer, an inner ceramic layer and an outer ceramic layer, which are specially matched to one another.
Abstract:
A telemetry system for use in a combustion turbine engine (10) having a compressor (12), a combustor and a turbine (16) that includes a sensor (306) in connection with a turbine blade (301) or vane (22). A telemetry transmitter circuit (312) may be affixed to the turbine blade with an electrical connecting material (307) for routing electronic data signals from the sensor (306) to the telemetry transmitter circuit, the electronic data signals indicative of a condition of the turbine blade. A resonant energy transfer system for powering the telemetry transmitter circuit may include a rotating data antenna (314) affixed to the turbine blade or on a same substrate as that of the circuit. A stationary data antenna (320) may be affixed to a stationary component such as a stator (323) proximate and in spaced relation to the rotating data antenna for receiving electronic data signals from the rotating data antenna.
Abstract:
A bimetallic bond layer (26, 28) for a thermal barrier coating or TBC (30) on a superalloy substrate (22) for a high temperature environment. An interlayer (26) is applied on the substrate. A bond coat (28) comprising a CoNiCrAlY or NiCoCrAlY alloy is applied on the interlayer. A ceramic TBC (30) such as 8YSZ is applied on the bond coat. The interlayer (26) is an alloy that is compatible with the substrate and the bond coat, and that blocks or delays diffusion of aluminum from the bond coat into the substrate at high operating temperatures. This preserves aluminum in the bond coat that maintains a beneficial alumina scale (29) between the bond coat and the TBC. This delays spalling of the TBC, and lengthens the coating and component life.

The rare earth material is selected from the group europium, terbium, erbium, dysprosium, samarium, holmium, praseodymium, ytterbium, neodymium, and thulium. A method of a layer system is also provided.

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.
Abstract:
A method of depositing a catalytically reactive coating to a substrate including selecting a target light off temperature for a predetermined catalytic combustion environment, selecting a thermal barrier coating composition, selecting a catalytic material and codepositing the thermal barrier coating composition and the catalytic material onto the substrate in proportions selected to produce the target light off temperature when exposed to the combustion environment. The method may include controlling the codepositing step to cause the thermal barrier coating composition to interact with the catalytic material to produce a phase having a light off temperature different from the respective light off temperatures of the thermal barrier coating composition and the catalytic material. A catalyst element may include a substrate and a first layer comprising a thermal barrier coating composition and a catalytic material throughout its depth disposed over a first portion of the substrate. Other portions of the catalyst element may have a second layer consisting of a catalytic material and a third layer consisting of a thermal barrier coating composition depending on a stage of combustion with a combustion environment.
