As downtime for maintenance is expensive, it is imperative that this is minimised and performed at the right time with informed knowledge of current engine conditions. By retrofitting with a CapaciSense system, the operator can be given forward notice of potential blade failure due to blade rubbing or vibration.
This additional intelligence on the engine operation allows warm restarts to be safely performed with the knowledge that differential thermal expansion isn’t going to cause a blade rub which will result in costly repairs.
With approvals including ATEX and FM, our systems can be used safely in hazardous areas. This is of particular interest for those considering retrofitting turbines with additional condition monitoring sensors for predictive maintenance or to check blades in “near rubbing” conditions.
