Summary: | To enhance the performance and reliability of aircraft propulsion systems, an integrated<br />bearing condition monitoring system is proposed. This intelligent bearing must have advanced health<br />management capabilities to provide early warning of problems. In most commercial high-temperature<br />applications, the sensing system is located externally due to lack of appropriate electronic devices<br />that can function at high temperature. This paper presents the design and implementation of a<br />self-powered sensing system for use in a high-temperature aircraft environment. The performance of<br />the thermoelectric generator and energy availability to process acceleration data is shown from our<br />laboratory tests based on realistic operating conditions. |
