Latest Patents
D'Amico holds a patent for a "Warning system for turbine component contact." This invention addresses the critical need for advance notice of impending contact between stationary and rotating components in a turbine engine. The system is particularly useful for warning of potential contact between a seal holder and a rotor disk in the compressor section of the engine. In one embodiment, a pad or other component is placed on the stationary seal holder. If the seal holder and rotor disk approach each other during operation, the pad can make contact with the rotor disk before actual contact occurs. This contact generates an optical and/or acoustic signal, which can be detected remotely by a signal detection device, eliminating the need for wiring through the compressor section.
