Emerson Process Management has launched a unique temperature module for the CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor. The new module complements the vibration monitoring capabilities already available in the CSI 6500 and delivers critical bearing temperature measurements. It also accepts RTD and thermocouple signals directly, reducing installation costs.
Whether striving for uptime, machinery protection, or safety, temperature is an important parameter when monitoring critical rotating equipment such as turbomachinery or compressors.
In journal bearings, temperature measurements complement the radial vibration monitoring to help confirm bearing rubs and lubricating oil issues, allowing for scheduling of repairs during normally planned outages.
