Valve Stroke And Spindle Way Counter Module For A Valve And Actuator Monitoring System

摘要

The present application provides a method of evaluating spindle component wear in a turbine by a data acquisition system. The method may include the steps of receiving a number of operating parameters from a number of sensors, wherein the operating parameters may include spindle position from which a number of spindle strokes and an accumulated spindle distance may be determined and temperature, generating a movement history based on the operating parameters, comparing the movement history to predetermined values, and altering one or more of the operating parameters and/or initiating repair procedures if the movement history exceeds predetermined values.
