Title: Systems and methods of monitoring acoustic pressure to detect a flame condition in a gas turbine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1018318

A method may detect a flashback condition in a fuel nozzle of a combustor. The method may include obtaining a current acoustic pressure signal from the combustor, analyzing the current acoustic pressure signal to determine current operating frequency information for the combustor, and indicating that the flashback condition exists based at least in part on the current operating frequency information.
