PROTOR : Vibration Condition Monitoring
Without health information on primary equipment such as turbines, pumps and associated equipment, impending faults go unnoticed and develop into conditions that result in failures. Failures may lead to unscheduled outages or more serious equipment damage with consequent loss of revenues. PROTOR is a complete condition monitoring package that can detect and warn of impending failure or conditions that require attention.
Why Do I Need PROTOR?
The benefits of monitoring rotating equipment with vibration sensors and process parameters are well known
- Analyze bearing performance
- Examination of critical speeds in
runup/rundown modes - Data comparison at known speeds
- More reliable trends
- Ability to set up more accurate limits
- Examination of blade frequencies
- Full FFT processing of runup/down data
- Historical data storage
- Better control of machine rotor startup
With this information the operator and plant rotating equipment expert are better able to detect the following problems:
- Shaft unbalance
- Whirl problems
- Shaft rubs
- Shaft bowing
- Bearing faults
- Generator shorts
- Damaged sealing strips
- Misalignment
- Shaft cracking
- End winding vibrations
- Looseness
