Abstract | Using conventional technology, only the outer stages (the first stage and the last one or two stages) of industrial steam turbines are generally accessible to visual inspection. Signs of problems such as erosion, or native or foreign object damage in the intermediate stages can only be detected by other diagnostic means, such as vibration monitoring. This deficiency can make turbine diagnosis difficult in some circumstances. A remote visual inspection technology that can penetrate to the intermediate stages through access from the first or last stages would provide more complete visual coverage. In a recent inspection of a large cross-compound steam turbine at Detroit Edison’s St. Clair Power Plant, new minimally invasive inspection tools were used to locate the cause of rotor imbalance in the low pressure turbine. Attempts to find the problem using conventional borescopes had failed — they could not be inserted far enough into the intermediate stages to locate the problem. Using the modified inspection tools, a missing shroud band segment was discovered on the L-3 stage of the low pressure turbine. Conventional tools had been unable to reach further than the L-1 stage. The new tools, featuring stiffness in the axial direction and flexibility in the radial direction, were maneuvered through ten stages of turbomachinery and were used to locate the problem and evaluate collateral damage to other turbine stages. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
