Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent inspection technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent inspection system for gas generator sets. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation and maintenance of gas generator sets, traditional inspection methods mainly rely on manual on-site inspections, which have many limitations.

[0003] Manual inspections are significantly affected by subjective factors, making it difficult to fully capture subtle anomalies in equipment operation, such as weak vibration changes in the early stages of bearing wear or slow abnormal temperature rise in windings. Furthermore, traditional inspection cycles are fixed and cannot respond in real-time to dynamic changes in equipment operating status. This makes it difficult to detect potential faults such as frequency fluctuations caused by carbon buildup in gas turbine blades or partial discharge in generator stator windings in a timely manner. These faults are often only detected when they have developed to the point of affecting normal unit operation, greatly increasing the risk of unplanned downtime. In addition, some existing automated inspection systems can only monitor conventional parameters such as temperature and pressure at single points, lacking systematic collection and analysis of key characteristic parameters such as vibration spectra and lubricating oil ferrograms. This prevents the construction of a comprehensive equipment health status assessment system, and the data processing methods are simple, often relying on threshold comparison methods, which are difficult to adapt to the nonlinear changes in equipment operating parameters under complex operating conditions. This results in high false alarm and false negative rates, seriously affecting the reliability and effectiveness of inspections.
