Gas turbine monitoring
Gas turbine and GTU vibration protection: Bently Nevada 3500 and Orbit 60, 3300 XL probes, System 1 — rotor, axial position and auxiliaries. KEG TRK, Kazakhstan.
Gas turbines: API 670 protection
Industrial gas turbines need continuous rotor protection. On combined-cycle plants and compressor stations in Kazakhstan, an unplanned GTU trip hits output and hot-section repair schedules.
KEG TRK designs and commissions Bently Nevada monitoring: probes, racks, DCS and System 1 integration.
Bently Nevada on a gas turbine
- Radial vibration and axial position with 3500 or Orbit 60
- 3300 XL Proximity sensors and Keyphasor
- Auxiliaries: lube pumps and cooling fans — see power pumps
Olympus — hot-section RVI and thickness
On GTU outages:
- IPLEX — combustors, blades and hot path (IPLEX One, IPLEX NX, IPLEX TX II); practice — RVI of turbines and heat exchangers
- 39DL PLUS — balance-of-plant piping thickness (catalog)
