The turbine blade is a key component in an aeroengine. Currently, measuring the turbine blade radiation temperature always requires obtaining the emissivity of the target surface in advance. However, changes in the emissivity and the reflected ambient radiation cause large errors in measurement results. In this paper, a three-wavelength radiation temperature measurement method was developed, without known emissivity, for reflection correction. Firstly, a three-dimensional dynamic reflection model of the turbine blade was established to describe the ambient radiation of the target blade based on the real surface of the engine turbine blade. Secondly, based on the reflection correction model, a three-wavelength radiation temperature measurement algorithm, independent of surface emissivity, was proposed to improve the measurement accuracy of the turbine blade radiation temperature in the engine. Finally, an experimental platform was built to verify the temperature measurement method. Compared with three conventional colorimetric methods, this method achieved an improved performance on blade temperature measurement, demonstrating a decline in the maximum error from 6.09% to 2.13% and in the average error from 2.82% to 1.20%. The proposed method would benefit the accuracy in the high-temperature measurement of turbine blades.

Through rapid developments in fiber technology and data acquisition technology, pyrometry has become a successful tool for the measurement of gas turbine blade temperatures. The technology enables gas turbine owners and operators to monitor the blades and to optimise the exploitation of their assets in terms of efficiency and maintenance. With the application of thermal barrier coatings on turbine blades, pyrometry faces a new challenge as these coatings are not opaque at commonly used wavelengths. The application of TBC’s to protect the metal blades allows an increase of the firing temperature, increasing the efficiency of the installation, but is potentially an additional cause of locally overheating blades in the case the coating comes off. The present paper reports on the results of experimental work related to the temperature measurement on an in service Alstom 13E2 turbine with TBC coated first stage blades. Temperature measurements have been performed with both short- and long wavelength instruments (1 μm and 10 μm). The optical characteristics of ZrO2 material at a range of temperatures have been determined. These characteristics are important in the implementation of an algorithm that calculates the metal temperature from the temperature measurement results. These metal temperatures are of primary interest, This is the first time that experimental radiation temperature measurements on an industrial turbine, using both 1 and 10 μm technology, are reported. As the measurement trace over the turbine airfoil consists of areas on the blade that are covered with TBC as well as uncovered areas, a very interesting comparison on the merits of the various systems can be presented.
