Well known for innovative engineering and highly reliable products, Elliott Group has partnered with Treon to develop a new turbine wireless condition monitoring solution. As a global leader in turbomachinery operations, Elliott chose Treon’s Industrial Node 6 to modernize their turbine monitoring capabilities far more cost-efficiently than conventional instrumentation.
“Currently in many plants, vibration technicians use a handheld vibration monitor to check equipment vibration weekly or less often. If they find issues, the technicians check the equipment more frequently until it is shut down for repair.” says William Pacelli, Industrial Products Engineering Manager at Elliott Group. “The wireless sensor enables more regular checking of machine health and a timelier shutdown if an issue occurs.”
The wireless sensor enables predictive maintenance for Elliott’s single-stage (YR) steam turbines. Treon Industrial Node 6 is the latest addition to Treon’s product portfolio of wireless IoT devices. Easy to install on the turbine bearing housings, and connected to the Treon Gateway on the factory floor, it operates in a massive wireless mesh network. With a frequency range of 6300 hertz, the wireless sensor offers high resolution vibration data, which makes it ideal for in-depth analysis of critical machinery. Scalability and intelligence combined for reliable equipment monitoring. Easy installation and configuration enable monitoring of older Elliott equipment as well as new units.
