Monitoring Parameters
Monitoring Parameter Shaft Vibration Description Relative vibration (displacement) between shaft and bearing at each bearing. 1 or 2 points par each bearing. Absolute vibration (velocity or acceleration) of bearing housing/casing. 1 or 2 points par each bearing. To monitor clearance of thrust bearing. Critical monitoring parameter during operating machine, especially at start up and shut down. Shaft can be bent because of its own weight and partial heating. Its necessary to monitor bending of rotor as observing shaft eccentricity during slow speed turning at non-operating of turbine.

Description Differential Expansion between rotor and casing because of different thermal expansion of them during start up and operating of turbine. Thermal expansion of turbine case. Contortion of case expansion is also monitored. Rotating speed of turbine shaft (rotor). Phase reference for vibration analysis. Detection of one rotation for measuring eccentricity p-p. To observe opening position of main steam inlet valve of steam turbine. This is used for controlling rotating speed of turbine.
