GM960 Boiler Wall Monitor

Product catalog summary
Overview: The GM960 is a boiler wall monitor designed to prevent corrosion in coal-fired power plants by monitoring CO and O2 levels at the boiler wall. It helps identify potential corrosion hazards early, allowing for timely countermeasures.
Specifications: The GM960 system can monitor up to 40 measuring points on the boiler wall, using probes equipped with CO and O2 sensors. It calculates CO corrosion levels and loads to assess the corrosion risk. The system includes a master unit for data visualization and process control, with connectivity via Modbus interface.
Functionality: The CO corrosion level is an average value indicating potential corrosion hazards, while the CO corrosion load reflects long-term exposure. The system's probes are powered and supplied with compressed air through connection units, and data is transmitted via a data bus to the master unit.
Benefits: The GM960 provides online monitoring to minimize corrosion, reduces operational costs, and enhances safety by offering early warnings. It aids in identifying problem areas and supports maintenance planning. Installation can occur while the boiler is operational.
Technical Data: The system uses zirconium dioxide sensors, with a gas flow rate of ≤ 30 l/h per measuring point. It operates within a process pressure range of –50 hPa to 100 hPa and an ambient temperature range of –10 °C to +50 °C. The system requires a power supply of 115 V / 230 V and consumes 120 W.
Applications: The GM960 is suitable for monitoring hard coal-fired steam generators and power plants, providing critical data on CO corrosion levels and loads.
Additional Information: SICK offers comprehensive services through its LifeTime Services, supporting the entire product lifecycle. The company has a global presence, ensuring close customer support.

Identify and prevent corrosion in time Despite the continuous development of alternative energy concepts, coal-fired power plants still remain and as yet irreplaceable form of technology. Corrosion caused by flue gas poses a particular challenge as it eats right into the boiler wall where it can cause irreparable damage and bring the entire plant to a standstill. This, in turn, has a significant detrimental effect on the efficiency of this type of combustion plant. The SICK boiler wall monitor GM960 has been designed to prevent this from happening by monitoring boiler walls. Functionality and...

System configuration To ensure that boiler walls are monitored reliably, measured values should be recorded at a representative number of measuring points. With the GM960 system, up to 40 probes can be operated at once. It even comes complete with a connection unit which supplies the probes with power (supply) and compressed air. All of the measuring points are connected via data bus to a master unit with standard network interfaces. This is where all data that has been identified by the system is evaluated, saved, and graphically depicted. The operator can use this data to estimate the corrosive...

STOPP BOILER WALL CORROSION Product description The GM960 boiler wall monitor is a trend measuring system for the analysis of CO and O2 at the inner boiler wall of a steam generator powered by hard coal. The CO corrosion level as well as the CO corrosion load are determined at each of up to 40 measuring points. The CO and O2 values and the CO corrosion levels are aimed at detecting potential danger of corrosion so that immediate action can be taken against the corrosive erosion of the boiler wall. The value of the CO corrosion load represents the long term CO corrosion exposure acting on the...
