  • Patent number: 8417479
    Abstract: A system calculates axial deformation of a turbine rotor. The system includes an input part that sets measurement points of rotor disks that constitute the turbine rotor; a deflection amount detection part that derives radial displacement amounts of the turbine rotor for at least four or more measurement points along an outer surface in a circumferential direction of the turbine rotor based on measured values measured by a displacement gage; a storage part that stores the radial displacement amounts and measured angles at the measurement points; and a calculation part that calculates misalignment data of a most probable circle of the turbine rotor based on data stored. The calculated circle is calculated from the displacement amount and the measured angles. The most probable circle is determined from the calculated circle, and the misalignment data of the most probable circle is calculated from the most probable circle.

  • Patent number: 8306776
    Abstract: In a method of calculating misalignment of a rotational body, radial displacement values are measured using a displacement gauge. A calculation part performs the steps of deriving radial displacement amounts of the rotational body for at least four or more measurement points along an outer surface while rotating the rotational body, selecting three arbitrary points to calculate a circle, calculating circle values for all the measurement points, calculating differences between the calculated circle values and the radial displacement amounts as error amounts, summing the error amounts to derive a total error amount, repeating circle calculation for different combinations and calculating a total error amount for each calculated circle, selecting a circle with a minimum total error amount as a most probable circle, and calculating deviation between the center of the most probable circle and the center of rotation of the rotational body.

At least four or more measurement points are set in the circumferential direction of the turbine rotor. The calculated circle is calculated from the displacement amount and the measured angle measured at each measurement point.

  • Publication number: 20100241394
    Abstract: A system and method for calculating misalignment of a rotational body includes: deriving radial displacement amounts of the rotational body for at least four or more measurement points; selecting three arbitrary points among all the measurement points to calculate a circle; calculating circle values for all the measurement points from the calculated circle; calculating differences between the calculated circle values and the radial displacement amounts as error amounts at the measurement points; summing the error amounts to derive a total error amount value; repeating calculation for combinations of three measurement points to calculate each total error amount value; selecting a calculated circle with a minimum total error amount value as a most probable circle; and calculating deviation between the center of the most probable circle and the center of rotation of the rotational body as misalignment data of the most probable circle.
