Compressor Blade Monitoring System for a VA1310 (Allis Chalmers) Wind Tunnel Compressor.

摘要

The purpose of the work summarized in this report is to identify and develop a cost effective, reliable procedure for identifying potential blade failures in time to prevent the actual occurrence. The procedure is developed for application to an Allis-Chalmers ten-stage, axial flow compressor, Model VA 1310. The approach followed in conducting this study included a review of the current techniques used to insure blade integrity, a review of other approaches as described in literature for verifying the condition of compressor blades and, finally, development of a technique suitable for use with the VA 1310 compressor.
