[0040] The specific embodiments of the application will be further described in combination with the drawings.
[0041] In combination with Figure 1 , Figure 3 , the application discloses a marine gas turbine vibration monitoring system fault checking method, which comprises the following steps:
[0042] Step one, when the working condition is running, if the high pressure vibration value of the gas turbine digital monitoring system is abnormal, the signal input plug 1 of the high pressure channel and the signal input plug 2 of the low pressure channel of the vibration monitoring assembly in the gas turbine vibration monitoring system are exchanged, whether the vibration signal will follow the input channel change is observed.
[0043] Step two, if the high pressure vibration value is higher than the preset value (that is, the vibration signal does not follow the input channel change), it is determined that the high pressure channel vibration sensor and the external circuit are normal, the fault condition of the internal high pressure channel of the vibration monitoring assembly for the vibration measurement of the gas turbine needs to be checked, and the specific checking steps include:
[0044] ① Check the signal input plug 1 of the external high-pressure channel, the signal input plug 2 of the low-pressure channel, open the cover of the vibration monitoring assembly, check whether the connection line of the internal high-pressure channel of the vibration monitoring assembly is broken, and whether the welding points of the connection line and the corresponding electrical connector are firm, that is, whether there are phenomena such as breakage and loose welding. If abnormal, determine the corresponding fault position and handle it. Among them, the connection line includes the power line, the signal input line and the signal output line.
[0045] ② After completing the content of step 1, if no fault reason is found, that is, the internal line is normal, exchange the amplifier output plug of the internal high-pressure and low-pressure channel of the vibration monitoring assembly, and observe the vibration display of the gas turbine digital monitoring system. As shown in FIG. 2, each amplifier output end is connected to the conditioning board of the corresponding channel, and the conditioning board layer is finally connected to the signal output plug of the vibration monitoring assembly, and the power board layer is used to power the amplifier layer and the conditioning board layer. Figure 2
[0046] ③ After completing the content of step 2, if the high-pressure vibration value displayed by the gas turbine digital monitoring system is higher than the preset value, it is determined that the high-pressure channel conditioning board is faulty, and the replacement of the conditioning board needs to be completed.
[0047] ④ After completing the content of step 2, if the low-pressure vibration value displayed by the gas turbine digital monitoring system is higher than the preset value, it is determined that the high-pressure channel amplifier is faulty, and the high-pressure amplifier needs to be replaced.
[0048] Step three, if the high-pressure vibration value returns to normal and the low-pressure vibration value is higher than the preset value (that is, the vibration signal follows the input channel change), it is determined that the high-pressure channel vibration sensor and the external line are abnormal, and the fault conditions of the external peripheral line, installation process and vibration sensor accessories of the external high-pressure channel of the vibration monitoring assembly need to be checked. The specific troubleshooting steps include:
[0049] ① Check whether the output line (including the extension line) of the on-machine sensor (including the vibration sensor) is loose, and whether the line is bundled and fastened.
[0050] ② Check whether the heat insulation layer and the skin of each cable and cable connection in the high-temperature area (such as high-pressure and moving vortex) of the gas turbine are damaged.
[0051] ③ Check whether the on-machine 4-core electrical connector is aged and loose, and whether the tail clamp fixing screw is loose.
[0052] ④ Check whether the box body 12-core electrical connector is aged, loose, and oil-filled.
[0053] ⑤ Check whether the signal input line from the vibration sensor in the high-pressure channel to the vibration monitoring assembly is interfered by strong electrical lines.
[0054] (6) Check whether the sensor output line (including the extension line) is tied with the thick air pipe. The correct installation process is to fix the low-voltage output line with plastic cable ties and the high-voltage output line with copper cable ties, and tie them on the thin pipe.
[0055] (7) Check whether the vibration sensor triangular seat and base fixing screws are loose.
[0056] (8) Check whether the vibration sensor root metal rod is damaged.
[0057] (9) Check whether the vibration sensor root metal hose is stressed. It is required to transition smoothly to avoid right angles and 45° angles.
[0058] Step four, if the low-voltage vibration value is still abnormal, an external spectrum analyzer is connected to the diagnostic interface of the vibration monitoring assembly, and the fault conditions of the external high-voltage channel and the vibration sensor are further investigated according to the waveform of the low-voltage channel spectrum analysis diagram. The specific troubleshooting steps include:
[0059] (1) If there is a sustained vibration value in the spectrum analysis diagram, and the corresponding rotational frequency under the rotational speed in the spectrum diagram meets the requirements, that is, the rotational frequency is large, and the spectrum is clean and free of interference waves, it is determined that the vibration value is a true vibration signal, and there is no fault in the external high-voltage channel.
[0060] (2) If there are fluctuations and large interference signals on the spectrum analysis diagram, further investigation of the line and vibration sensor is required: a temporary line is directly connected between the vibration sensor in the high-voltage channel and the vibration monitoring assembly signal input electrical connector for verification. If the low-voltage vibration signal returns to normal, the fault conditions of the external high-voltage channel, installation process, and vibration sensor accessories of the vibration monitoring assembly are investigated again, that is, steps 1-8 in step three are investigated again. If there are still fluctuations, it is determined that the vibration sensor of the high-voltage channel is faulty and needs to be replaced. In this example, the temporary line is a low-noise cable.
[0061] (3) If there is a vibration jump in the spectrum analysis diagram, it is determined that the line is interfered, and the aging, corrosion, and water ingress of the line are investigated. If the fault cannot be eliminated, the vibration sensor extension line and the box body to the vibration monitoring assembly signal input line of the high-voltage channel need to be replaced.
[0062] Step five, after the above steps are completed, if the vibration sensor or internal components of the vibration monitoring assembly are replaced, the vibration sensor corresponding to the channel with changed state needs to be recalibrated. Optionally, if there is no change in parameters, only slight changes can be made by knocking the vibration sensor to check whether the feedback vibration signal is similar to the previous calibration signal, and whether recalibration is needed.
[0063] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. It can be understood that other improvements and changes directly derived or thought by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present application shall be considered to be within the protection scope of the present application.
