Approved for Use in the Hazardous Conditions of Operating Power Stations
Our capacitive blade tip to shroud clearance systems are already being used on some of the world’s largest power generating gas turbines for long term condition monitoring. Our systems are used for high temperature turbine sensing at up to 1400°C.
In one case, the lifetime of the probes has exceeded 10.000 hours of continuous operation. We have has probes returned after that time following routine refurbishment at outage & they are still in working order.
We have recently secured European ATEX approvals for the system & are soon to add North American FM & Asian TIIS Approvals.
These approvals allow these systems to be used safely in operating power plants and are of particular interest for those considering retrofitting turbines with additional condition monitoring sensors for predictive maintenance or to check blades in “near rubbing” conditions.
We can design a system for your turbines – see here for further information and contact details.
