Whatever the source, water, steam or wind, measuring the vibrations on turbines efficiently and accurately is a key issue. The choice for a trustworthy analyzer is crucial for both manufacturers and power operators.
Acceptance tests are to be carried out with the highest possible efficiency. Integrating run ups and coast downs, systematic test procedures including dynamic and static parameters are carried out. A powerful integrated multianalyzer allows these tests to be achieved in a minimum amount of time.
In the field, power operators need to have a comprehensive set of diagnostics and maintenance tools to keep turbines working: Impact Modal Aquisition (OROS Modal 2), Balancing, or envelope analysis are some examples. Stopping a turbine for a test is rarely affordable and the data has to be right the first time. A rugged portable OROS analyzer, integrating real time analysis and recording will do the job.
