Abstract:As a highly efficient and clean power generation device, gas turbines are widely utilized in electricity production, marine propulsion, aerospace, and other fields. However, the combustion process in gas turbines is extremely complex, and combustion instability may lead to critical issues, including potential safety hazards. Monitoring the pulsating pressure generated during combustion is essential to ensure the stable and safe operation of gas turbines. To achieve real-time monitoring of pulsating pressure during combustion and enhance operational safety, a domestically developed pulsating pressure acquisition and monitoring system was designed. This system employs high-temperature pressure sensors to dynamically capture combustion chamber pressure signals. By combining time-domain analysis (e.g., peak values, root mean square) and frequency-domain analysis (e.g., bandpass filtering and fast Fourier transform), key signal features are extracted and compared with predefined health thresholds, enabling real-time status monitoring, trend prediction, and anomaly alerts. The system integrates a domestic Loongson processor, high-precision synchronous acquisition modules, and a self-developed QT/C++ software architecture, supporting dynamic data preprocessing, feature extraction, long-term storage, and visualization. Experimental validation confirmed the system’s capability to stably acquire pulsating pressure signals under high-temperature conditions, significantly improving combustion efficiency and operational safety. The system has been successfully implemented in gas turbine power units, fulfilling real-time monitoring requirements and offering technical insights for condition monitoring of other high-temperature combustion equipment.
