Overview

Condition monitoring (colloquially, CM) is the process of monitoring machinery to identify a significant change, which might be indicative of an underlying aberration. Condition Monitoring in Thermal Power Stations: Case Studies covers 25 case studies of all major areas of thermal power stations, which have suffered a lot of machinery condition issues. It covers the information about how machine vibrations can be brought down to the acceptable limits via the employment of condition monitoring techniques. It also includes detection methodology for condition monitoring deviations of all areas in a 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. Helps readers to replicate the idea of case study diagnosis into plant/machinery of any type of industry. Illustrates real problems and real solutions for practical issues. This book is aimed at professionals and researchers in plant engineering and maintenance, thermal power plants, and condition monitoring.
