Description
Bently 3500/45
Technical Specifications
- Module Type: 4-Channel Position Monitor Module
- Channel Count: 4 independent channels
- Slot Placement: Any available monitor slot
- Input Type: Proximity Probe (Eddy Current)
Functional Features
- Differential Expansion Monitoring: Specifically optimized for measuring differential expansion between turbine rotors and casings.
- Software Configurable: Each channel can be independently programmed via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
- Continuous Monitoring: Continuously compares current position values against user-programmable alert and danger setpoints.
Application Scenarios
Widely deployed in steam turbines and gas turbines where differential expansion monitoring is critical for preventing rotor-stator rubs.
Performance Parameters
- Operating Temperature: -30°C to +65°C
- Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
- Humidity: 95% non-condensing
Material Composition
Industrial-grade electronic components with conformal coating for environmental protection.
Structural Characteristics
Full-height module with front-panel LED indicators for channel status and module health.
Working Principle
Receives raw signals from proximity probes, conditions them to generate differential expansion measurements, and compares them against configured thresholds.
Installation Requirements
Install in any available monitor slot. Connect proximity probe cables using appropriate shielded cabling.
Usage Notes
Requires proper sensor gap calibration and configuration via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
