contents Preventing machine failure is inherently superior to reactive remediation, particularly for critical assets like gas turbines, where early fault detection (FD) is a cornerstone of industrial sustainability. However, modern deep learning-based FD models often face a significant trade-off between architectural complexity and real-time operational constraints, often hindered by a lack of temporal context within restricted vibration signal windows. To address these challenges, this study proposes a Temporal Cross-Modal Knowledge-Distillation Transfer-Learning (TCMKDTL) framework. The framework employs a "privileged" teacher model trained on expansive temporal windows incorporating both past and future signal context to distill latent feature-based knowledge into a compact student model. To mitigate issues of data scarcity and domain shift, the framework leverages robust pre-training on benchmark datasets (such as CWRU) followed by adaptation to target industrial data. Extensive evaluation using experimental and industrial gas turbine (MGT-40) datasets demonstrates that TCMKDTL achieves superior feature separability and diagnostic accuracy compared to conventional pre-trained architectures. Ultimately, this approach enables high-performance, unsupervised anomaly detection suitable for deployment on resource-constrained industrial hardware.
