A steam turbine is both a thermal power device and a high-speed rotating machine. Therefore, in addition to monitoring conventional thermal parameters (temperature, pressure, and vacuum), mechanical parameters must also be monitored to understand the turbine's mechanical operating conditions. These parameters include rotor axial displacement, relative expansion between the rotor and cylinder, abso...
In modern industry, the operating environments for aerospace, power generation, and petrochemical equipment are extremely harsh. How do we ensure these multi-million dollar rotating machines (such as gas and steam turbines) run safely and efficiently? Parker Meggitt and its Vibro-Meter® brand provide world-leading solutions. 1. Why Global Industrial Giants Choose Meggitt? Meggitt is a global e...
Overview The LM6000 Gas Turbine The LM6000 is a modern aeroderivative gas turbine from General Electric, and is used extensively for marine propulsion and power generation applications. It is a twin spool Gas Turbine Generator (GG) with a High Pressure (HP) spool and a Low Pressure (LP) spool. Depending on the configuration, the load is directly coupled to either the cold end or the hot end of the...
Vibro-meter’s CA series of sensors are high-temperature, piezoelectric-based accelerometers designed for the long-term measurement and monitoring of absolute vibration in the most severe of environments (up to 700°C). An external signal conditioner is used to convert the sensor’s low-level pC/g output into a current or voltage signal suitable for transmission to the monitoring system. As a result,...
Vibro-meter’s comprehensive range of sensors and measurement chains can be used with our monitoring system hardware and software (or third-party systems) in order to provide complete solutions for the monitoring and protection of critical machines and processes. From standard to harsh industrial environments, including hazardous areas and/or extreme temperatures (up to 700°C). High temperature vib...
