Abstract:A review of existing research on signatures of gas turbine faults is presented. Faults that influence the aerothermodynamic performance of compressors and turbines, such as fouling, tip clearance increase, erosion, variable geometry system malfunction, and object impact damage, are covered. The signatures of such faults, which are necessary for establishing efficient gas path diagnostic methods, are studied. They are expressed through mass flow capacity and efficiency deviations. The key characteristics of the… Show more
