Abstract

See full text

A millimeter wave radar mounted on a turbine installation for monitoring turbine blade vibration. The waveguide conducts signals from a millimeter wave radar unit outside of the turbine and directs the signal to the rotating blades and directs the reflected signals therefrom back to the radar unit. A sealing arrangement is provided where the waveguide passes through the turbine's outer casing and the waveguide itself within the turbine is positioned within a waveguide support member which extends from the aperture in the turbine casing to a point in the vicinity of the turbine blades where it is immovably supported. The waveguide additionally has an internal sealing arrangement transparent to the radar signals for maintaining pressure integrity.
