Introducing Vortex S, a smarter way to understand our customers’ sealing requirements, which will be tested in real applications this year. The aim of this innovative tool is to provide live data on seal condition.
With SystemSmart, sensors are embedded in a vortex seal to obtain data on pressure, temperature and lip deflection directly from the seal area and its interface with the running surface. Using this data, it is possible to intervene quickly in the event of leakage or problems before major damage occurs.
The system consists of a microcomputer controller with data collection via a wireless communication module utilizing Bluetooth or WIFI, or a MicroSD card for data storage.
Remote access could lead to more accurate maintenance strategies and an overall improvement in turbine reliability and efficiency.
“Vortex S is an important enabler for System Seals in our quest to deliver a tailored solution to each wind seal application,” comments our Engineer Soenke Voss.
