    Abstract: A vibration sensor 24 is disclosed which uses a piezoelectric crystal 26 to electrically modulate the phase of a laser beam using a phase modulator 28 producing a linearly phase modulated light beam. A DC bias can be provided by a battery 60 while a photocell 64 can provide the DC bias along with a calibration signal. The sensitivity of the sensor 24 can be doubled by passing the light beam through the sensor 24 twice using a reflector 74. By routing optical fibers 20, 22 and 31 carrying a reference beam and a sensing beam along the same physical path mechanical stress effect noise can be removed.

    Abstract: A normally closed valve system for sealing off low pressure gas flow through a pipe. The valve comprises an inflatable bladder which blocks relatively low pressure flow through the pipe and permits relatively high pressure flow through the pipe. In one form, the invention comprises a fail-safe bypass monitor and method for measuring air inleakage in a steam turbine. The monitor selectably bypasses low volumetric flow rates from a pipe for measurement and admits flow through the pipe whenever the flow rate exceeds a predetermined value.

    Abstract: Apparatus which provides an indication of gas leakage from the interior of an electric generator into a closed circuit water-cooling system for the generator's stator coils. The closed circuit water-cooling system includes a water tank for degasification with the closed volume above the water level being occupied by a gas of the same type as the generator interior. Sensors are provided for obtaining indications of pressure, temperature and volume of the gas, and from these indications the number of moles of gas in the tank are calculated in periodic time increments. The gas is maintained within certain pressure limits by the addition or venting of gas, and if an addition or venting has taken place from one calculation to a next, a projected value for the number of moles is calculated after the change, had the change not occurred. The difference between the actual and projected value is then added onto subsequent calculated values to obtain a history of gas leakage.

    Abstract: A method is provided for monitoring velocity of a fluid flow through a predetermined fluid flow space. A fiber optic conductor includes a flow measurement portion defining an elongated dimension extending across a portion of the fluid flow space. The fluid flow in the fluid flow space causes the measurement portion of the fiber optic conductor to flex in a direction transverse to the elongated dimension. Optical radiation is supplied to the fiber optic conductor, and optical radiation is received from the fiber optic conductor after the supplied optical radiation has passed through the measurement portion. The received optical radiation is analyzed to effect a determination of a flow velocity of the fluid flow.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring blade vibrations in a turbine engine having blade tip target portions associated with blades. An illumination conduit including a plurality of optical fibers conveys light from a light source to a transmission end of the optical fibers where the light is focused to define an axially elongated projected image. The blade tip target portions pass through the projected image and reflect light to receptor ends of a plurality of optical fibers defining a detection conduit for conveying the reflected light to a processor. The transmission ends and receptor ends of the optical fibers are configured as a narrow rectangle to define a probe end for receiving reflected light at different axial locations along the probe end, and to detect blade passing events defined by passage of either or both a blade leading edge and a blade trailing edge.

    Abstract: A partial discharge coupler for detecting partial discharges in a conductor includes a frequency dependent network, a differential amplifier and a frequency selective coupling component. The frequency dependent network includes a first filter component, a fuse component and a load component, typically coupled together in series with reference to a first ground. The first filter component filters the high voltage, low frequency alternating current signal carried by the conductor from the load component and passes high frequency partial discharge pulse signals to the load component. The frequency selective coupling component couples in series between the differential amplifier and the load component. The output of the differential amplifier is configured to provide an output that is isolated from the ground connection for communicating detected partial discharge signals to partial discharge test equipment.
