Description

The Bently Nevada 3300/48 Case Expansion Monitor is a rack-mounted module designed to measure the thermal expansion of turbine casings relative to their foundation. This measurement is critical for steam turbines and other large rotating machinery where casing growth can lead to mechanical interference. The monitor continuously compares expansion values against configured alarm setpoints, providing early warning of abnormal conditions to facilitate predictive maintenance.

Features

  • Measures casing expansion relative to the foundation.
  • Continuous parameter comparison against Alert and Danger alarm setpoints.
  • Relay actuation for alarm conditions.
  • LED indicators for OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger status.
  • Compatible with proximity probes or LVDT signals.

Applications

This module is primarily utilized in power generation and industrial facilities for monitoring steam turbine thermal growth, ensuring mechanical alignment and preventing casing damage during thermal cycling.
