Turboprop Engine

Gas turbine engines include a plethora of rotating modules, and each module consists of numerous components. A component’s mechanical fault can result in excessive engine vibrations. Identification of the root cause of a vibration fault is a significant challenge for both engine manufacturers and operators. This paper presents a case study of vibration fault detection and isolation applied at a Rolls-Royce T-56 turboprop engine. In this paper, the end-to-end fault diagnosis process from starting system faults to the isolation of the engine’s shaft that caused excessive vibrations is described. This work contributes to enhancing the understanding of turboprop engine behaviour under vibration conditions and highlights the merit of combing information from technical logs, maintenance manuals and engineering judgment in successful fault diagnosis.

Dynamic Filtering

This brief paper presents a symbolic dynamics-based method for detection of incipient faults in gas turbine engines. The underlying algorithms for fault detection and classification are built upon the recently reported work on symbolic dynamic filtering. In particular, Markov model-based analysis of quasi-stationary steady-state time series is extended to analysis of transient time series during takeoff. The algorithms have been validated by simulation on the NASA Commercial Modular Aero Propulsion System Simulation (C-MAPSS) transient test-case generator.

The paper describes the experience gained in designing, developing and operation of gas turbine engines for gas pumping units on the marine gas turbine engine’s base. More than 800 Mashproekt gas turbines of various power output have been in service in gas pumping application since 1980. This paper shows the SPE Mashproekt designing and developing approach for gas turbines to be installed in gas pumping units along with their full-scale testing in the test bed of close gas loop type equipped with gas compressor and gas coolers to simulate operation of the gas pumping unit in the real gas pipeline conditions. The gas turbines for gas pumping application on the 2.5 MW, 6 MW, 10 MW, 16 MW and 25 MW engines base were developed in the period of 1990–1995 for replacement of the existing old gas turbine line-up and installation in the new gas pumping units at the compressor stations in Russia and Ukraine. We are replacing engines with Mashproekt gas turbines at the following gas pumping units: Russian GTN-25, Ukrainian GPA-6.3, GPA-16 and “Coberra-182” (Great Britain) gas pumping units. The comparison of the technical characteristics of these replacements is given in the paper. Technical data on 2.5–25 MW Mashproekt gas turbines for gas pumping units is also presented in this paper.
