PROGNOST®-NT

PROGNOST® Systems were developed exclusively for reciprocating machines. With gapless, high frequent data acquisition, automated real-time diagnosis, self-learning recognition of damage patterns, and other unique product characteristics, PROGNOST® fulfills industry requirements and is proven superior to non-specialized applications.

As an Asset Performance Management system, PROGNOST® links component-oriented condition data with maintenance cycles, producing service-life information for more efficient maintenance planning. PROGNOST®-NT consists of several modules that can be used in various combinations for continuous diagnosis of all vital functions of a reciprocating machine.

Safety Protection is a powerful, SIL certified technology that reliably ensures the safety of people, the environment and the machine.

Vibration-based Early Failure Detection identifies damage developments in their initial stages.

Wear Monitoring is provided by continuously updated trends, as well as threshold monitoring.

Process Data Analyses. This module offers interfaces to all popular control systems. It enables the integration of process operation data into the machinediagnosis and provides information about irregular condition developments directly to the control room and machine operator.

Blockage in lubrication lines, leaks, and uneven or over-lubricated cylinders and packings are identified through the Lubrication Monitoring module before damage occurs.

The illustration of gas dynamics in the online p-V diagram and its automatic analysis form the basis of the Performance Optimization module.

Component Tracking expands condition monitoring by creating a protocol of maintenance procedures and the actual operating time of components.
