Blade Path Temperatures: Monitoring and Control

We’re struggling to maintain consistent blade path temperatures in our HP turbine during load changes. What’s your approach to monitoring and controlling this?

Install thermocouples along the entire blade path. It provides better resolution for temperature monitoring.

Ensure steam pressure control is precise. Pressure fluctuations often lead to uneven temperature profiles.

Upgrade your DCS logic to include blade path temperature trending. It’s easier to spot anomalies over time.
