Abstract
SURGE DETECTOR FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINES
Abstract of the Disclosure Sensed engine inlet temperature is utilized to detect compressor surge whenever its computed temperature rate of change or rise signal exceeds a predetermined value. This signal may be coupled to another engine operating parameter, such as rotor speed, compressor discharge pressure and the like and permutations thereof, to guard against false detection. Engine inlet temperature rate of change or rise is an efficacious surge detection parameter particularly when an afterburner is used inasmuch as the hot gases of the afterburner will have a significant influence on the engine inlet temperature sensor in a reverse flow situation making that signal a positive indication of imminent surge.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to gas turbine engines and particularly to a means for detecting surge.
As is well ~lown, su:rge in an axial flow compressor gas turbine engine has been a problem perplexing the industry since its inception. While the phenomena of surge is not completely understood, suffice it to say that flow separation around the compressor blades manifests a pressure pulsation, which not only can be injurious to the engine but can result in engine failure. Also well known is the fact that the fuel control customarily comes equipped with a means for providing surge protection by scheduling a predetermined engine operation line or surge line and by monitoring and computing certain engine parameters, limits fuel flow to operate the engine below the surge line.
Examples of fuel controls of the type described above are exemplified by the JFC-12, JFC-25, and JFC-60 manufact-ured by the Hamilton Standard Division of United Technologies Corporation.
However, because the schedules are not always accurate, or owing to inaccurate sensors, or distorted signals and the like, certain engines require addi.tional means to detect surge. For example, U. S. Patent Number ~,060,980 issued December 6, 1977 and assigned to the same assignee, and Patent No,. ~

3~26,322 granted to H. A. Balo on February 4, 1969 disclose surge detection systems. It is impor-tant to recognize that the surge detection means described in these patents, as well as all other heretofore known surge detectors, not only require at least the measurement of two operating engine parameters, they also require instrumentation within the engine. This instrumentation normally requires access holes in the engine casings and probes protruding into the gas path.
We have found that we can obtain an efficacious surge detector by measuring engine inlet temperature rate of change or rise and generating a surge detected signal upon it reaching a predetermined value. The temperature probe can be located at the inlet of the engine, thus obviating the necessity of drilling holes into the engine case~ In certain installations, as a means of protecting against false surge detection, the system may be designed to be coupled with another engine operating parameter, such as compressor rotor speed, compressor discharge pressure and the like.

A still further object of this invention is to pro-vide in a surge detection system that utilizes engine inlet temperature rate of change or rise as the primary control parameter an additional parameter such as the rate of change of rotor speed, or compressor discharge pressure and the like and permutations thereof as a Imeans for guarding against false surge detection.

In accordance with a further embodiment, there is provided a surge detection system for a gas turbine engine having an augmentor which has the propensity of forcing air forwardly with respect to the normal forwardly axial flow of the engines working fluid, said engine including a compressor and an engine inlet for leading said working fluid into said compressor, a temperature sensor disposed in said inlet ahead of said compressor, means responsive to the temperature rate of change produced by said sensor resulting from the working medium flowing in a reverse direction occasioned by said augmentor for producing a surge signal when the temperature rate of change exceeds a predetermined value.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The sole figure is a schematic representation of a surge detec-tion system for a gas turbine engine with augmentor.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
While this invention will be described in its pre-ferred embodiment with a gas turbine enginewith an augmentor, it is to be understood to those skilled in the art tha-t it will have application for other types of installation. The use of temperature rate of change or rise as a control parameter for surge detection is particularly viable when the gases that are recirculated during a surge situation are significantly hot, say 3000F range, where the temperature rate of change or rise at the inlet is perceptible to the temperature probe.

As ~oted from -the sole figure, the gas turbine engine generally illustrated by reference numeral 10, includes an inlet 12, a compressor/fan section 14, burner section 16, turbine section 18, exhaust nozzle 20 and afterburner 22.
Inasmuch as this invention is not primarily concerned with the engine, suffice it to say that the engine may take the form of any well-known types where surge is a characteristic of the engine, as for example the JT'8 and JT-9, manufactured by the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Division o~ United Technologies Corporation.
In accordance with this invention, a suitable, commercially available temperature probe 24 is durably mounted at the inlet of the engine and its signal is fed to computer represented by box 26 via line 28. Computer 26 serves to calculate the temperature rate of change or rise : in any well-known manner commercially available to produce an output signal whenever the temperature rate of change or rise exceeds a predetermined value. Whenever this output signal is manifested, it will be imposed on the stall detector illustrated by box 30 as input via line 32. If, for example, the stall detector 30 is a special purpose digital computer, it will merely assure that the logic is triggered to its initial programmed signal before accepting the output signal from the computer 26. The output from the stall detector 30 will then initiate , ~"' , - : ... ,.. : -stall recovery as being the input via line 34 to stall recovery logic represen-ted by box 36. It also could be a digital special computer programmed to initiate stall recovery by actuating the fuel system and de-riching the gas generator, cambering the compressor variable vanes, opening compressor bleed valves, rese~ting the exhaust nozzle and the like.
In certain installations and under certain aircrat flight conditions, the temperature rate of change or rise at the engine inlet may produce a signal that may look like a stall signal to the control, but may not be, in fact, indicative of stall. In these instances, the surge detector control may incorporate some other engine operation parameter Thus, for example, rotor speed sensed by a suitable sensor is ~ed as the `~nput to computer 40 via line 42. Computer ~0 will thus, in a well-known manner, computate its rate of change and when it reaches a predetermined value will produce an output signal. This signal is then fed via line 44 to stall detector 30. Hence, stall detector will only produce an output at 34 solely when both the temperature rate of change or rise and rotor speed rate of change signals are manifested by computers ~6 and 40, While rotor speed is described as being a viable parameter for guarding against ~alse detection of surge, other engine operatLng parameters may be used in lieu thereo, It should be understood that what is taught by . ::
the invention is that engine inlet temperature, which may or may not be the total value, is a viable surge detection parameter in an afterburner gas turbine installation in and of itself.
In its preferred embodiment, this invention contemplates utilizing the rate of change value of the temperature sensed at the inlet particularly where flight or operating envelope extend over a wide range. In application where the envelope is limited the temperature rise value may be sufficient.
It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments shown and described herein~ but that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the novel concept as defined by the following claims.
