Early detection of impending failures
The early detection of emerging failures is a prime concern for machinery operators. The PROGNOST®-NT Early Failure Detection module keeps you informed about your actual machinery condition anytime.
Modern computerized monitoring systems provide more capabilities than previous hardware based protection racks: The early detection of emerging failures prevents the development of equipment breakdowns and unplanned machinery shutdowns. PROGNOST®-NT Early Failure Detection provides the maximum safety and reliability in damage detection. High resolution data acquisition together with a subsequent comparison with a damage pattern database, offers cleartext failure messages for condition based maintenance.
On-line signal: Cylinder vibration (red) with suction/discharge pressures (orange/green).
The diagram shows a cylinder vibration signal during one crankshaft revolution; further
the dynamic pressure curves for each compression chamber are added.
Your advantages
- Identification of mechanical defects at an early stage
- Root cause text messages with local and functional clarity
- Definitve damage identification based on comparison with damage pattern database
- Determination of an overall machine condition value
- Automated threshold monitoring depending on machines operating condition e.g. for partial load steps
