  • Patent number: 9791856
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring operating machinery to identify fault frequency sets for consumable components used in the machinery. Data associated with characteristic behavior of the machinery being monitored is acquired and analyzed, comparing known vendor information regarding fault frequencies for specified components to vibration frequencies observed in the machine in service. The systems and methods described herein enable an operator to identify and confirm critical information such as the location of and/or vendor identity for components exhibiting fault vibration behavior.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 25, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2017
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Charles Terrance Hatch, Jesse Lewis Hanna, Shekhar Raghuvir Sashital, Dhruti Gishu Pillai, Yash Vijay Churi
  • Patent number: 8922203
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward a system that includes a turbomachine blade monitoring system having an eddy current proximity probe assembly. The eddy current proximity probe assembly includes an eddy current proximity probe having a probe tip and a probe tip shroud disposed about the probe tip, wherein the probe tip shroud comprises a non-metallic material. The eddy current proximity probe is configured to provide a signal indicative of a presence of a turbomachine blade, wherein the eddy current proximity probe assembly is configured to be disposed within a turbomachine casing. The turbomachine blade monitoring system also includes a monitor coupled to the eddy current proximity probe assembly, wherein the monitor is configured to monitor a parameter of the turbomachine blade based on the signal.
