Abstract
A radiation pyrometer for a gas- turbine engine has a sapphire lens (8) that focusses radiation from the turbine blades (6) onto the end (9) of a fibre-optic cable (10). The front, exposed surface (20) of the lens (8) has a vapour deposited layer (21) of platinum aluminium oxide which acts as a catalyst to promote oxidation of soot to a gaseous form and thereby reduce contamination of the lens. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Optical elements
This invention relates to optical elements and to apparatus including such elements.
The invention is more particularly, but not exclusively concerned with lenses or windows for radiation pyrometers or other optical apparatus liable for fouling.
Radiation pyrometers used on gas-turbine engines for sensing, for example, the turbine-blade temperature, conventionally have an optical head that is mounted to project through the engine bypass duct to the turbine chamber. The head is directed to receive radiation from the turbine blades, and in this respect includes a lens or other optical window within a sighting tube that opens through the wall of the chamber. The use of the sighting tube ensures that radiation is received throughout a limited angle only, and also that the window is not exposed directly to the heat and combustion products within the chamber.
One problem with such pyrometers is that the lens or other window is liable to become fouled by combustion or other products during running of the engine, thereby reducing transmission of radiation.
Air can be supplied to the sighting tube to purge it of combustion products and this does to some extent reduce fouling. Problems of fouling, however, do still arise, especially during start up o shut down of the engine when the pressure of purging air may be reduced, or when the purging system becomes blocked or otherwise damaged.
In some engines it may not be possible to provide a purging system and this can make it necessary to remove the pyrometer to clean the lens after only some thirty to one hundred hours of operation.
It is an object of the present invention to reduce the fouling that arises on such optical elements and thereby alleviate the problems that arise because of fouling.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided an optical element having a surface layer including a catalytic material that is effective to reduce fouling of the element by optically-opaque substances.
The catalytic material may be effective to lower the temperature of oxidation of optically-opaque substances so as to promote conversion of said substances to a gaseous form. In this respect, the surface layer may include platinum aluminium oxide. The optical element may be a lens, or a reflective element.
According to another aspect of the Dresent invention there is provided apparatus for viewing a combustion chamber, the apparatus having a forward end adapted for location in the vicinity of the combustion chamber and having an opticallytransparent element, mounted towards the forward end of the apparatus, through which radiation from the combustion chamber passes to a radiation sensor, the forward surface of the element having a surface layer including a
catalytic material that is effective to lower the temperature of oxidation of optically-opaque
substances contacting the element to a
temperature below that to which the element is
subjected in use, so as to promote conversion of
said substances to a gaseous form.
According to a further aspect of the present
invention there is provided pyrometer apparatus
including a radiation sensor, and an optically
transparent element mounted forwardly of the
sensor such that radiation passes through the
element to the sensor, the forward surface of the
element having a surface layer including a
catalytic material that is effective to promote the
oxidation of substances contacting the layer to a
gaseous form.
A radiation pyrometer on a gas-turbine engine,
including an optical element both according to the
present invention, will now be described, by way
of example, with reference to the accompanying
drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a partly-sectional view of the
pyrometer showing its installation; and
Figure 2 is a sectional view of the pyrometer in
greater detail.
Referring to both Figures, the radiation
pyrometer has an optical head 1 that is enclosed
by a metal sleeve 2 mounted on the turbine casing
3 of the engine. The sleeve 2 extends through the
engine by-pass duct 4 to the turbine chamber 5
for directing the head 1 towards the turbine blades
6. More particularly, the sleeve 2 incorporates a
sighting tube 7 that opens into the chamber 5
from the duct 4 and serves to channel radiation
from the blades 6 to a synthetic-sapphire lens 8
(Figure 2) in the head 1. The lens 8 focusses
radiation received from the blades 6 onto the end
9 of a fibre-optic cable 1 0.
Provision is made in this embodiment to purge
fuel and combustion products from the tube 7
during running of the engine, and in this respect
the tube 7 has a slot 30 that opens into the by
pass duct 4. Cooling air as conventionally supplied
to the duct 4 from the compressor stage of the
engine, flows through the slot 30 into the tube 7
to be exhausted into the chamber 5 so as to block
to a substantial extent entry of fuel and
combustion products into the tube 7 during
running.
The pressure of the cooling air supplied to the
duct 4 is, however, low during starting of the
engine and is in general insufficient to ensure that
fuel-air mixture does not enter the tube 7 at this
time. To help block entry of the fuel-air mixture in
these conditions, purging air may be supplied from
a separate source 31. The air-supply source 31 is
coupled via a non-return valve 32 to an inlet 33 on
the sleeve 2 to pass low-pressure air (for example,
at 80 pounds per square inch) into an annular
space 34 between the sleeve 2 and the casing 35
of the head 1. The air is vented from the space 34
across the front surface of the lens 8 into the tube
7 via circumferentially-distributed ports 36 in a
lens-retaining ring 37 (Figure 2) of the casing 35.
The flow of air across the lens 8 into the tube 7 purges the tube 7 of the fuel-air mixture, and continues as starting proceeds, until the pressure applied to the inlet 33 is exceeded by that in the by-pass duct 4. Air which now flows through the slot 30 from the duct 4 to maintain purging of the tube 7, creates a curtain trapping the volume of clean and virtuaily stagnant air remaining adjacent the lens 8, above the slot 30. The slot 30 is inclined forwardly to direct flow downwardly of the tube 7 and thereby enhance the curtain effect.
So as further to reduce any fouling of the lens 8, the forward, exposed surface 20 of the lens is coated with a thin layer 21 of platinum aluminium oxide. The thickness of the layer 21 is such that it is substantially transparent to radiation of the wavelengths to which the pyrometer is responsive. The material of the layer 21 acts as a catalyst, to promote oxidation of soot, or other combustion products by, in effect, lowering the temperature at which oxidation occurs to a temperature below that to which the lens is exposed in use. In this way, instead of being deposited on the surface of the lens as an opaque layer, the soot is converted to a gaseous, transparent form (such as carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide) which does not hinder passage of radiation through the lens.
By coating the lens 8 with a catalytic layer 21 which reduces fouling, it is possible to extend the periods for which the pyrometer can be used without cleaning the lens, especially where no purging system is provided.
The lens 8 is manufactured by grinding a blank of sapphire to give it the desired focal length and then coating it with a layer of platinum aluminium oxide by vapour deposition. It will be appreciated that various other methods could be employed to coat the lens.
Various other catalytic materials could be used, and these need not necessarily function by promoting oxidation. They could reduce fouling of the lens by bringing about other chemical changes of any substance deposited on the lens. In this respect, instead of converting a fouling substance to a gaseous form, it might be possible for a catalyst to convert the substance to a solid or liquid form having a greater transparency.
Alternatively, the catalyst could act in other ways to convert any fouling substance to a more readily dispersed form.
The catalytic layer has a long life because it is not permanently changed by its action on the fouling substances.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to provide the lens with a protective layer prior to coating with the catalytic layer.
The layer of catalytic material could be provided instead on an optically-transparent window located forwardly of the lens, so as to protect the lens. The invention could also be applied to optically-reflective elements such as that described in UK patent application GB 2087588A.
It will be appreciated that the invention is not restricted to use n pyrometers but could find application in optical elements of other apparatus liable to fouling.
