Protecting power generation
September 1st 2008 Turbine supervisory and high
integrity protection equipment
from Sensonics has played a
part in the successful
upgrading of condition
monitoring equipment at RWE
Npower Fawley Power Station.
Investment focused on the
turbine supervisory equipment
for measurement of differential
expansion, shaft position and
bearing vibration on two
500MW steam turbine sets.
Also included was a high integrity
electronic overspeed system for
each of the main boiler feed
pumps. Sensonics provided Sentry
machine protection monitors, its
Senturion proximity
eddy current probes,
PZV velocity
transducers and
turbine detector LVDTs
for casing expansion.
The turnkey project
also included: Sentry
monitors with
proximity sensors for
measuring rotor/case
differential expansion
using the mark-space
technique, shaft eccentricity with
dual measurement modes, case
expansion, thrust and speed. More articles from Sensonics Ltd: |
