SKF Eliminating unexpected cooling tower failures
22 Jan,2019Condition monitoring systems provide 30 per cent more cooling tower uptime for power stations.
Medway Power Station in the UK is making significant reductions in downtime due to unexpected failures on the station's induced draft cooling tower.
In particular, the integrated condition monitoring system is enabling engineers to assess the real-time performance and functionality of twelve large diameter cooling fans, together with associated drive motors and gearboxes, and to implement a long-term predictive maintenance strategy that has improved uptime by over 30 per cent and delivered tangible cost savings from these business critical systems.
