Power generation unit condition monitor using frequency profile analysis
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A power generator unit condition monitoring system, comprising:
- a receiver located near a frequency-generating component of a power-generating unit and adapted to generally frequently receive a frequency profile generated by the frequency-generating component, the frequency profile selected from the group consisting of sonic, ultrasonic, infrasonic and combinations thereof;
a transmission mechanism to generally frequently transmit the received frequency profile;
a frequency profile analyzer that receives the transmitted frequency profile, the frequency profile received by the analyzer is compared against a stored frequency profile associated with a type of frequency-generating component; and
an indicia indicating if the comparison is indicative of a cult condition.

Abstract
A power generator unit condition monitoring system can receive a frequency profile generated by a frequency generating component and can transmit the received frequency to a frequency profile analyzer. The frequency profile analyzer analyzes the transmitted frequency profile and compares the profile against a database. The database can stores normal and abnormal frequency profiles.

27. A method for a frequency profile analysis condition monitor, comprising:
-
placing a receiver near a frequency-generating component;
receiving by the receiver a frequency profile due to a vibration of the frequency-generating component;
transmitting the received frequency profile to a frequency profile analyzer;
comparing the transmitted frequency profile to a frequency sample; and
activating an alarm if the comparison indicates a fault for the frequency-generating component, wherein the frequency sample is an abnormal frequency profile. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 20)
