A new twist in torsional vibration shaft monitoring
We are proud to announce that we have successfully installed the TDMS system and will performing torsional testing on Vogtle unit 4 turbine. It is an honor to work on one of the new US nuclear units in 40 years. The installation was a little challenging due to it having to be performed inside a … Continue reading TDMS installation Vogtle Unit 4
Entergy invited Suprock to install our TDMS system at their plant due because our wireless powered telemetry is capable of measuring torsional vibrations long term. They have a new upgraded turbine en route and are using the TDMS system to ensure smooth operation till it’s time to install the new rotor train. It was a … Continue reading Waterford 3: Another successful TDMS install
We would like to extend a thank you to Harold Breitbach of Energiforsk Thermal Engineering Research Institute for including our TDMS system in their report about torsional vibrations in nuclear steam turbine applications. “Vibration problems in nuclear power plants can originate from different sources. One of these is torsional vibrations in shaft trains, which have … Continue reading TDMS torsional vibration system featured in report by Energiforsk
