System and method for monitoring a turbomachine with anomaly detection corrected by a wear factor
A system for monitoring the state of health of a monitored aircraft engine comprises an anomaly detection unit which analyses engine operating parameters and raises an alarm if a result of the analysis of one of the engine operating parameters crosses a threshold, the alarm being associated with a probability of a given type of engine damage occurring. The system further comprises an engine operating conditions monitoring unit which determines a state of wear of the engine, and an alarm corroboration unit which weights the said probability of occurrence by the determined state of wear. The invention is applicable to the preventive maintenance of turbomachines.
Gas turbine module ventilation system having a controllable baffle vane
A turbine ventilation system includes a controller that is coupled to an actuator that is coupled to a vane that is disposed across an intake port between a gas turbine enclosure and the turbine ventilation system. The controller can cause the actuator to change a position of the vane to alter an air flow from the turbine ventilation system into the gas turbine enclosure based upon feedback from one or more sensors disposed within the gas turbine enclosure.
