Function Features

Sensor Compatibility and Auto-Recognition： Bently Nevada 3300/36 simplifies the installation and setup process by automatically recognizing and configuring the temperature sensors connected to it, thus reducing human errors in configuration and creating a setup that works properly with any model of sensor.

Real-Time Temperature Monitoring： Bently Nevada 3300/36 not only permits continuous temperature monitoring during operation but also provides feedback immediately to the central control room. Temperature readings of both channels can be displayed on the local interface or transmitted to the control room for further monitoring.

Alarm and Shutdown Capabilities: when the measured temperature exceeds the upper or lower limits, Bently Nevada 3300/36 will produce an alarm for the operator. In case of critical situations, it may also initiate a shutdown sequence to protect the equipment from such overheating. For example, if the temperature of turbine bearings goes beyond the safe limits, it can cause the turbine to shut down to prevent catastrophic failure.

Log and analyze data: Bently Nevada 3300/36 logs temperatures over time, storing them for historical analysis, providing the ability to assess trends over time in temperature history useful for predictive maintenance; for example, patterns of temperatures rising or oscillating could be analyzed, so that maintenance staff could predict when a failure might occur and schedule maintenance, thereby minimizing unplanned downtime.

Design stability and precision: With Bently Nevada 3300/36, consistent and reliable temperature measurements are monitored over time, minimizing false alarms of temperature excursions being missed because of their long duration.

Applications

Power Generation：it is extensively used in power stations to monitor temperatures on critical components, including the turbine bearings, generator windings, and steam pipes. The continuous monitoring of temperature ensures the economically viable and safe operation of all field equipment involved with power generation, minimizes costly breakdowns, and improves on the overall reliability of the plant.

Petrochemical Industry： Bently Nevada 3300/36 is used to monitor the temperature of reactors, heat exchangers, pumps, and pipelines in the oil and chemical industry.

Manufacturing： It is used in many of the manufacturing processes involving metalworking, plastics processing, and semiconductor manufacturing. It is used to monitor the temperature of machine tools, molds, production line equipment, etc. For instance, Bently Nevada 3300/36 can be used to monitor the temperature of cutting tools in metalworking to get their optimal performance by reducing one's exposure to excess heat, in case heating affects part quality fabrication.
