Thermal measurement system for fault detection within a power generation system

摘要

A system (10) includes a radiation sensor (66) configured to direct a field of view (90) toward a conduit (74) within a heat recovery steam generator (34), and to output a signal indicative of a temperature of the conduit (74). The system (10) also includes a controller (68) communicatively coupled to the radiation sensor (66). The controller (68) is configured to determine the temperature based on the signal, and to compare the temperature to a threshold value.
