extreme environments Integrated machinery protection, condition and performance monitoring

Why monitor your machinery ? Monitoring is fundamental to plant asset management. Whether your business is in the power generation, oil and gas or petrochemical industry, understanding the mechanical behaviour of rotating machinery brings you many benefits. Monitoring systems help avoid catastrophic failures and unplanned outages, protecting your personnel and your investment. The financial return delivered by your physical assets is increased. Monitoring systems help you maximize the overall productivity of your turbomachinery through • Higher availability (reduced outages, maintenance...

Why choose the VM600 integrated solution ? One single expandable platform Meggitt’s VM600 platform truly integrates all protection, condition and performance monitoring functions in a single system. It is easily expandable and does not require additional internal wiring. We are pioneers with our solution based on single modules processing all parameters (vibration, velocity, displacement, dynamic pressure, temperature, etc) used for protection and condition monitoring. When you need a new function, it is already included in the module in your system. High reliability All modules are...

CMS software Condition-based maintenance is a predictive methodology that is used to improve your machinery’s safety, availability and efficiency. Meggitt's Condition Monitoring System (CMS) software is dedicated to the support of operators and engineers, enabling them to rapidly identify a problem, evaluate a situation and determine appropriate actions to take. CMS software has a truly modular architecture that comprises several monitoring modules. It runs under Windows, uses an SQL database and can be remotely accessed through the web. For further applications, CMS software provides a...

Case studies Heavy duty gas turbine: “Irsching 4” combined cycle power plant (Germany) On-line diagnostics and remote balancing (VM600 system with CP, CA and TQ sensors) Siemens uses Meggitt’s VM600 to protect and remotely monitor the world’s most powerful gas turbine (GT). “Irsching 4” near Ingolstadt (Germany) is the test power plant for the new SGT5-8000H, which is the world’s most powerful GT with a 340MW simple cycle power output. The GT was first fired in December 2007. After an 18-month trial operation period, it will be expanded to become a 530 MW combined cycle power plant (CCPP)...
