Case Story Siemens Energy Fossil- Calibration System providing time savings

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses an improved method for testing power generators, specifically focusing on the Siemens Energy Fossil - Field Service division in the UK. This division is responsible for servicing and repairing electrical power generators worldwide.

Company Overview
Siemens Energy Fossil is a division of Siemens Energy Sector, which is a leading supplier in the energy and electricity industry. The Field Service division in Nottingham handles the repair and upgrade of Siemens gas and steam turbine generators, including non-Siemens equipment.

Testing Requirements
The service includes performing pneumatic and vacuum tests on water-cooled electrical power generators. These tests ensure the integrity of the system by simulating operational pressures and checking for leaks. The pneumatic test uses air, nitrogen, or helium, while the vacuum test checks for gas leaks into the water system.

Challenges
The existing testing equipment, primarily analogue gauges, was prone to errors and inaccuracies due to physical disturbances and inherent design flaws.

Solution
The Beamex® MC5 Multifunction Calibrators were introduced as a solution. These devices combine pressure/vacuum modules, a barometric module, and a temperature recording element in one unit. They offer high accuracy, datalogging capabilities, and can be placed away from disturbances.

Main Benefits

Improved efficiency and accuracy in field-testing.
Early detection of test failures, allowing for timely corrective actions.
Significant time savings due to the all-in-one capability of the Beamex® MC5.

Conclusion
The adoption of Beamex® MC5 Multifunction Calibrators has led to enhanced testing efficiency and reliability, resulting in substantial time and cost savings for Siemens Energy Fossil - Field Service.
