Systems and methods for measuring fouling in a turbine system
Systems (120) and methods (350) for measuring fouling in a gas turbine compressor (102) include a conductivity resistance sensor (121) disposed in a compressor inlet mouth. The degree of compressor fouling is correlated to changes in resistance measured by the conductivity resistance sensor. Measure...

Summary: | Systems (120) and methods (350) for measuring fouling in a gas turbine compressor (102) include a conductivity resistance sensor (121) disposed in a compressor inlet mouth. The degree of compressor fouling is correlated to changes in resistance measured by the conductivity resistance sensor. Measurements of resistance changes are converted to an indicia of fouling and used to trigger cleaning of the compressor. |
