Latest Patents

Nam’s listed patents address blade measurement and vibration monitoring in turbine environments.

“Blade tip clearance sensor and gas turbine including same” describes a sensor assembly designed to measure the clearance between a turbine blade and its surrounding structure. The assembly uses a bushing, washer, flange, sensor probe, spacer, and locking screw to secure the probe within a turbine casing. The design provides a structured mounting arrangement for the sensor in a gas turbine.

“BTT probe fixing apparatus and gas turbine including same” concerns the installation of a blade tip timing (BTT) probe used to measure blade vibration. It combines a cooling sleeve with a probe holder that can slide as the casing undergoes thermal expansion. This arrangement is designed to maintain the cooling sleeve and probe in a fixed position relative to the vane carrier.
