Description

The Bently Nevada 3300/48 Case Expansion Monitor is a specialized rack-mounted module engineered to track the thermal growth of turbine casings relative to their fixed foundations. By monitoring these expansion characteristics, the module helps prevent mechanical interference, which is vital for the integrity of steam turbines and large rotating machinery. The system provides real-time monitoring, comparing measured expansion against predefined alarm setpoints to trigger early warnings and facilitate proactive maintenance strategies.

Features

  • Provides accurate measurement of casing expansion using proximity probes or LVDT inputs.
  • Equipped with onboard LED status indicators for OK, Bypass, Alert, and Danger conditions.
  • Includes configurable relay outputs for critical alarm signaling.
  • Supports integration into the 3300 series rack environment for seamless data acquisition.
  • Designed for high-reliability monitoring in industrial power generation and mechanical drive applications.
