Abstract
For engines operating using heavy fuel oil (HFO), the nozzle rings of turbocharger turbines are prone to severe degradation because of contamination with unburned fuel deposits. This contamination may lead to increased excitation of blade resonance. A previous study provides technical guidelines on how to extract the relevant information from pulsation spectra using a single probe installed away from the turbine trailing edge and some sound experimental proofs of integral mode turbine vibration detection. These theoretical discussions only allude to the effects of mistuning and interferences due to classical blade passing frequencies on sound radiation patterns emitted by integral blade vibration modes. In this study, both effects are thoroughly discussed. Combining the knowledge of theoretical study and further experimental results, the application range of this blade vibration detection method can be remarkably extended.
