  • Publication number: 20240125673
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a blade damage evaluation system comprising one or more computers configured to: evaluate inflow and collision of solid particles into a turbine based on design data, maintenance data, and operation data; and calculate a survival rate by applying at least one data included in at least one of the design data, the maintenance data, and the operation data as at least one factor to a formula that models the turbine by survival time analysis, the survival rate indicating that erosion amount of at least one of a plurality of blades does not reach a predetermined threshold at arbitrary time in future.

  • Publication number: 20240094041
    Abstract: A liquid level detector includes: a magnetic detection element that is provided on a shaft of a frame and detects a rotation angle of a holder; and a magnet that is provided in the holder and applies a magnetic field to the magnetic detection element. The holder includes a pair of flanges protruding in respective opposite directions along the extension direction of an arm in an arm holding part. The frame includes: a locking groove that has two side walls facing each other in a direction along a central axis of the shaft and locks the flanges rotatably; and an arm-facing part that is provided at a position facing a trajectory of the arm. A first space between the arm-facing part and the trajectory of the arm is smaller than a second space between the side walls of the locking groove and the flanges.
