Alignment of hydro turbines with a flip Plumbness and level dedicated to hydro turbines Traditional methods to measure the alignment condition of a hydro turbine, although workable and reasonably accurate, are very time- consuming; it may take as long as a week to determine turbine misalignment before overhaul. ROTALIGN® Ultra Hydropower, the latest application on the Ultra platform, in combination with INCLINEO® the high precision electronic inclinometer, delivers all important alignment parameters: Shaft plumbness is calculated by taking the • • • • Shaft static plumbness Shaft runout Thrust...
