VC-8000 MONITORING SYSTEM-7

Early fault detection of unique pump bearing faults at a major US refinery Case Studies The legacy online system couldn’t always detect developing bearing faults on the solvent booster pumps, which often led to seal leaks and several times even resulted in catastrophic fires. The legacy handheld device could accurately detect these faults at an early stage of development, but was ineffective for faults that resulted in a failure within 6 hours. The SETPOINT® CMS replaced both systems by detecting bearing faults early – and continuously. It also provided vibration-temperature voting-logic protection,...
