Real-time Tip-clearance Active Control System
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Significance of the Problem Control of blade-tip clearance in the compressor and turbine sections of gas turbine engines can improve efficiency, minimize leakage flow, and shorten engine development time. Tip clearance varies throughout different operating conditions (e.g., start-up, idle, full power, shut-down) because of different radial forces and different thermal expansion coefficients and heat transfer. A real-time clearance control system can lead to turbine designs that eliminate rubbing of the housing and minimize leakage flow for maximum engine efficiency. Data collected from engine operation can provide information on the condition of the stage for improved maintenance.
