Monitoring the essential driven- and non driven-end roller bearings of a multiphase pump/compressor in the oil and gas industry, is beneficial for uptime, production rate, reliability and could prevent long and complex warranty claims. For every single rotary application it’s useful to know your machines condition, but in specific this pump that becomes fragile in certain operating conditions when processing fluids with high and low viscosity.
A good practical example is the twin screw pump of HLP group. They state that when implementing our fiber optic monitoring system this could solve multiple of warranty issues. It will give better insight in how the compressor behaves in different scenario’s in the field and how the assets is used by the costumer in the field to make sure it is not crossing critical limits. The most vital roller bearings of the pump should equipped with our fiber optic sensing system that can predict upcoming failures, monitors field condition, increase uptime and make planned maintenance more accurate. – Nahim Boulahiati, CEO HLP Group –a
Diesel-electric propulsion is currently introduced in many ships. A good example of an electrical propulsion system is an electric podded azimuth thruster. The disadvantage of these complex azimuth thrusters is visual inspection by the human eye, since it’s a very small and compact machine. Monitoring is already in place, but FOS is the answer. In this highly electromagnetic induced environment, FOS is not subjected to any of these external influences. Accurate monitoring can be realized in the shaft bearings, supplying you with real-time load (axial and radial), torque, vibration and temperature. With these values you can initiate more accurate planned maintenance, calculate remaining lifetime and prevent very costly unexpected downtime periods.
On commercial ships, all the propulsion components
contribute to the one and most important resulting process value; thrust. The
thrust generated by these component will be converted into water displacement
by the ships propeller that set’s off the thrust force on the thrust bearing.
This thrust bearing is integrated in a bearing housing that is deeply anchored
in the ships construction to convert propeller thrust into the forward movement
of the ship.
Monitoring in this thrust bearing could give complete
new insights. There are no more difficult externals such as propeller slip,
influencing weather conditions and different loading conditions to worry about.
These days it’s very easy to determine engine fuel consumption. However, determine
the exact released energy/thrust by a specific fuel usage seems to be
practically difficult, but not with our technology and knowledge how understand
the signals. With clear insight in energy input and outcoming thrust, it’s
possible to find an efficient equilibrium between these two values in real time
and any weather situation. Get to know your machine and efficiency better, book
