Condition Monitoring in Thermal Power Station Case Studies
Condition monitoring (colloquially, CM) is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery to identify a significant. Condition Monitoring in Thermal Power Station: Case Studies covers 25 case studies of all major areas of thermal power station which have suffered with a lot about the machinery condition problems. The book covers the details of how can machine vibrations be brought down to the acceptable limits using right approach of condition monitoring techniques. It includes the detection methodology for condition monitoring deviations of all areas of plant and suggested remedies.
Features:
- Covers pre-maintenance history to work execution through analysis and having the results with post condition monitoring data.
- Uses actual machine maintenance photos for better understanding and visualization of case studies.
- Provides knowledge of each condition monitoring technique through all case studies.
- Aids reader to replicate the idea of case study diagnosis into plant/machinery of any type of industry.
- Illustrates real problems and solutions for the practical issues.
This book aimed at professionals and researchers in plant engineering and maintenance, thermal power plants, and condition monitoring.
