Integrating Infrared with Ultrasound and Vibrations analysis applications for Marine and Offshore Industry

Predictive Maintenance is the use Non-intrusive Technologies of Infrared Thermal Imaging, Ultrasound Detection & Vibration measurements.

Thermal Imaging: With the Thermal Signature, we can see the Infrared Radiation which we can not see otherwise
Ultrasound: With Ultrasound machine, we can hear the High Frequency sound which we can not hear otherwise
Vibration survey: Vibration signature shows the physical movement of the machine indicating the health condition of the same

What is infrared?

    Advantages:
    • Condition analysis of varied Mechanical, Electrical & Hydraulic applications
    • Non-intrusive testing & safe to implement
    • Improved Safety & Reliability
    • Energy savings and ultimately cost saving

What is Ultrasound?

Human range (16Hz to 18KHz)
Industry Applied range (20KHz to 100KHz) is Heterodyned for Audible Human range

Levels of Severity With ultra sound

Above baseline 20 dB


Mechanical Inspection

    Mechanical Inspection

    • Bearing condition
    • Rubbing condition
    • Cavitations
    • Gear boxes & Gears
    • Pumps & Motors
    • Lack of Lubrication
    •  
    •  

    Electrical inspection

    • Tracking
    • Arcing
    • Corona
    • Transformers
    • Insulators
    • Relays
    • Bus bars
    •  

    Leak Detection/Energy audits

    • Compressed air
    • Compressed gases
    • Vacuum leaks
    • Condenser tubes
    • Hatch covers
    • Boilers Heat exchangers
    • Valves
    • Steam Traps

    Some problems that can be detected with Ultrasound, Infrared & Vibration

       

    • Soft foot
    • Misalignment
    • Mechanical Looseness
    • Greasing problems

    Making Motor Ready for Service

    • Pull the grease tube & verify grease
    • Carry out Run out test
    • Carry out Amp draw test
    • Bench Vibration test

    COUPLINGS AND SHAFTS ALIGNMENT

    • Couplings inspection is difficult in normal operation.
    • This is how misalignment looks like I Infrared.
    • Note the Heat on the Motor Inboard Bearing and the coupling Rubber
    • This Machine will not last long under obvious misalignment

    Increase machine Reliability with Infrared Technology

    This could be catastrophic failure on a VLCC can cause fire in main switch board

    A TYPICAL MOTOR / PUMP PROBLEM - EXAMPLE

    This photo is taken in a leading company tanker vessel and displaying as example.

    A 250 kw motor inert gas fan in a vlcc operating with drive end bearing temperature of 93.3*c is going to cause damage to motor due to misalignment and overloading

    Cause and effect of failed steam traps

    The partially blocked pipe is an example of surface temperature effects in a pipe line

    Sample evaporator liquid refrigerant inlet and expanded gas outlet at the return headers for each coil

    Both above compressors connected to this defective evaporator coils. Loss of energy with 2 compressors running with minimum climate control effect

    Main air compressor high pressure suction valves one valve is leaking badly other valve is chocked with carbon trouble- energy loss/ damage to valves, carbonisation in inter and after coolers and reduced efficiency

    Marine Propulsion Gear box showing high bearing temperatures

    The Gear box drive end bearing showing 85.4*C where the Lube oil temperature at the cooler inlet 48*c indicating trouble at at the bearing condition.

    A diesel generator alternator showing high temperatures can cause damages loss of alternator life due to excess temperatures

    Main start Air compressor onboard running very hot with LP discharge inlet to inter cooler about 194.2*C reduce the efficiency, long running hours and damage to many components like valves, coking in inter after coolers etc.,

    Leaking Boiler Relief valve This is not only dangerous but very costly in Steam production. This must be corrected at the earliest opportunity.

    Pumps and hydraulics

    Bearing Inspection

    Increase your Equipment Reliability with Ultrasound Technology

    • Very effective on Slow Speed Applications
    • Types of testing performed
    • Comparison
    • Historical Trending
    • Spectrum Analysis

    Vibrations of machinery

    The ISO standards for the machinery vibration values limits

    Using FFT analysis for defects
