The Power of Full-Surface Temperature Mapping of Turbocharger components.

How do you accurately measure temperatures across a turbocharger turbine wheel operating in demanding conditions?

In 2024, SCS collaborated with Garrett - Advancing Motion and demonstrated how Thermal History Coatings (THCs) generated high-resolution (1–2 mm) surface temperature maps across turbocharger turbine wheels following engine testing.

The study showed that THC-derived temperature profiles reflected the operating conditions of each test, with the hottest temperatures occurring at the blade leading edges and reducing towards the hub. Initial comparisons with Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) simulations were also promising, with the majority of measurement points on one turbine wheel differing by less than 10°C from the predicted temperatures.

The research concluded that Thermal History Coating technology successfully profiled temperatures on turbocharger turbine wheels and highlighted its potential for future turbocharger development, including E-Turbo applications and other difficult-to-access components.

Revealing the Thermal Behaviour of Turbocharger Bearing Assemblies.

Accurate temperature data is essential for optimising turbocharger performance, reliability and durability. Yet capturing detailed thermal distributions across bearing cartridge assemblies has traditionally been challenging.

In the ASME Turbo Expo 2024 paper GT2024-126715, Sensor Coating Systems (SCS), together with MinebeaMitsumi Europe and IHI Charging Systems International GmbH, demonstrated how Thermal History Paints (THPs) can provide high-resolution temperature maps across turbocharger bearing cartridge assemblies.

Four bearing cartridges were subjected to four severe gas-stand test conditions, including a heat-soak test without water cooling. Following testing, the THPs were optically analysed to reveal the maximum temperatures experienced across each component surface.

With 1 mm measurement spacing, the technique delivered detailed thermal maps across the inner and outer bearing rings, providing valuable insight into the thermal behaviour of the assemblies.

This work demonstrates how high-resolution thermal mapping can provide engineers with the detailed temperature data needed to validate designs, understand thermal behaviour and optimise turbocharger performance.

SCS enabling better energy systems through high resolution thermal mapping.

As operating temperatures continue to rise, understanding how heat is distributed across critical components has never been more important.
Conventional sensors provide valuable point measurements, but they can't always reveal the complete thermal picture across complex geometries such as gas turbine blades, combustors and turbocharger wheels.
Sensor Coating Systems (SCS) Limited addresses this challenge using Thermal History Technology.

A specialised luminescent coating or paint is applied before testing. During operation, the sensor material permanently records the maximum temperature it experiences. After testing, SCS analyses the coating using an optical measurement system to generate detailed temperature maps containing thousands of measurement points across the component surface.

These high-resolution thermal maps help engineers to:
🔸 Understand temperature distributions across entire components
🔸 Identify thermal gradients and hot spots
🔸 Assess cooling system effectiveness
🔸 Compare measured temperatures with CFD and thermal models
🔸 Improve confidence in durability and life prediction assessments

By providing complete thermal insight, SCS supports leading energy customers around the world in developing more efficient, reliable and lower-emission technologies.

Temperature data from SCS that drives better engine design!

Gas turbine durability is closely linked to the temperatures experienced by critical engine components.

SCS helps engineers see the complete thermal picture by delivering digitised, high-resolution thermal maps containing thousands of temperature measurement points across an entire component surface, providing continuous temperature data rather than the limited point measurements available from conventional sensors.

This detailed thermal insight enables engineers to identify temperature gradients and hot spots, validate thermal models and fine-tune engine designs, while supporting the implementation of advanced high-temperature materials.

Better temperature data provides the confidence to push performance while understanding the thermal limits of critical components.

Thermal History Paints transforming the lifetime management of critical gas turbine components

Another of Sensor Coating Systems' ASME Turbo Expo technical papers explored exactly that.

Developed in collaboration with EPRI, this research demonstrated that Thermal History Paints (THP) can deliver high-resolution temperature maps after up to 7,200 hours of exposure at temperatures up to 450°C.

The study showed that THP offers the durability needed for long-term monitoring of critical components such as industrial gas turbine rotor discs. It also found that the effects of time can be neglected over these long exposures, simplifying calibration and enabling practical implementation.

The result? A viable new approach to capturing temperature information that has not previously been possible to acquire, providing engineers with valuable insight to support run, repair and replace decisions, while helping reduce life cycle costs.

ASME Turbo Expo Research: Validating Thermal History Coatings

As power generation systems continue to push for higher efficiency, accurate thermal mapping plays an increasingly important role in design validation.

Presented at ASME Turbo Expo 2023, this collaborative research between Sensor Coating Systems and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. compared Thermal History Coatings (THCs) with thermocouples, Uniform Crystal Temperature Sensors (UCTS) and pyrometry on two stage-one turbine blades on a Kawasaki gas turbine engine test.

Temperature data obtained from the different temperature methods were compared qualitatively and quantitatively. Measurement data were also compared with the Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) model for the particular internal cooling design of these blades. Further, the application of the THC on two identical blades allowed a direct comparison of component-to-component variations and indicated excellent repeatability of the THC data.

The result?

🔸 Greater confidence in thermal models

🔸 Better understanding of heat transfer behaviour

🔸 Validation of cooling performance

🔸 Reduced development risk

🔸 Improved component reliability

The most successful engineering programmes aren't built on assumptions. They're built on data.
