System and method for monitoring in real time, a gap between portions in a machine |
| 摘要 |
A monitoring system for monitoring, in real time, a gap between a rotating portion and a stationary portion of a machine. The monitoring system includes an imaging device for forming a reference image of the gap and one or more next images of the gap, the imaging device including a portion disposed within the machine and a portion external to the machine. The system also includes an image processor coupled to the imaging device configured to monitor whether the gap is increasing or decreasing by comparing the reference image to the one or more next images. |

1. A monitoring system for monitoring, in real time, a gap between a rotating portion and a stationary portion of a turbine that includes an outer casing surrounding the rotating portion and the stationary portion, the monitoring system comprising:
an imaging device for forming a reference image of the gap and one or more next images of the gap, the imaging device including a portion that passes through the outer casing, a portion disposed within the outer casing and a portion external to the outer casing; and an image processor coupled to the imaging device configured to monitor whether the gap is increasing or decreasing by comparing the reference image to the one or more next images. |
