Abstract The article discusses the problem of diagnostic informativeness of exhaust gas temperature measurements in turbocharged marine internal combustion engines. Theoretical principles of the process of exhaust gas flow in turbocharger inlet channels are analysed in its dynamic and energetic aspects. Diagnostic parameters are defined which enable to formulate general evaluation of technical condition of the engine based on standard online measurements of the exhaust gas temperature. A proposal is made to extend the parametric methods of diagnosing workspaces in turbocharged marine engines by analysing time-histories of enthalpy changes of the exhaust gas flowing to the turbocompressor turbine. Such a time-history can be worked out based on dynamic measurements of the exhaust gas temperature, performed using a specially designed sheathed thermocouple. The first part of the article discusses possibilities to perform diagnostic inference about technical condition of a marine engine with pulse turbocharging system based on standard measurements of exhaust gas temperature in characteristic control cross-sections of its thermal and flow system. Selected metrological issues of online exhaust gas temperature measurements in those engines are discusses in detail, with special attention being focused on the observed disturbances and thermodynamic interpretation of the recorded measuring signal. Diagnostic informativeness of the exhaust gas temperature measurements performed in steady-state conditions of engine operation is analysed in the context of possible evaluations of technical condition of the engine workspaces, the injection system, and the fuel delivery process.

A novel technique is developed to simultaneously measure hot surface and gas temperatures based on passive absorption/emission spectroscopy (PAS). This non-intrusive, in situ technique is the extension of multi-wavelength pyrometry to also measure gas temperature. The PAS technique uses hot surface (e.g., turbine blade) as the radiation source, and measures radiation signals at multiple wavelengths. Radiation signals at wavelengths with minimum interference from gas (mostly from water vapor and CO2) can be used to determine the hot surface temperature, while signals at wavelengths with gas absorption/emission can be used to determine the gas temperature in the line-of-sight. The detection wavelengths are optimized for accuracy and sensitivity for gas temperature measurements. Simulation results also show the effect of non-uniform gas temperature profile on measurement results. High pressure/temperature tests are conducted in single nozzle combustor rig to demonstrate sensor proof-of-concept. Preliminary engine measurement results shows the potential of this measurement technique. The PAS technique only requires one optical port, e.g., existing pyrometer or borescope port, to collect the emission signal, and thus provide practical solution for gas temperature measurement in gas turbine engines.
