Applications and Industry Context

Rotating machinery is central to power generation, petrochemical, oil & gas, and heavy industry operations. Unexpected failures can lead to costly downtime, equipment damage, and safety hazards. The Bently Nevada 3500/92 136180-01 provides high-precision monitoring to mitigate these risks.

The 3500/92 136180-01 is widely deployed in:

• Power Plants: Steam turbines, gas turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment rely on continuous vibration and position monitoring.
• Oil & Gas Facilities: Compressors, pumps, and critical rotating machinery in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations benefit from early fault detection.
• Petrochemical & Chemical Plants: Rotating equipment is monitored to prevent imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear, minimizing unplanned shutdowns.
• Heavy Industry: Kilns, mills, and crushers require continuous monitoring for safe and efficient operation.

By providing real-time data, the 3500/92 136180-01 enables predictive maintenance, improving uptime, reducing operational costs, and extending equipment life.

System Role and Integration

The 3500/92 136180-01 is a multi-channel monitoring module within the Bently Nevada 3500 rack system. It is a key component in machinery protection and condition monitoring strategies, ensuring critical assets operate safely and efficiently.

Integration highlights include:

• Proximity and vibration sensor inputs: Monitors radial, axial, and dynamic signals from critical rotating equipment
• 3500/15 Power Supply Module: Supplies stable power to all rack modules
• 3500/32M Temperature Monitor: Monitors bearing and casing temperatures
• 3500/22M Transient Data Interface (TDI): Transfers monitored data to DCS, SCADA, or historian systems
• 3500/42M or 3500/50 Proximitor Modules: Supports additional channels for detailed monitoring

The 3500/92 136180-01 handles multiple input channels simultaneously, giving operators a complete view of machinery health. Each channel can have independent alarm and trip logic to protect assets based on operational criticality.
