Introduction
Evaflux is the supplier of bently Nevada 3500 System.
During full load operation, there is no margin for error in the monitoring of vibration and temperature of a turbine, compressor or pump. It’s now the 3500 series from Bently Nevada that’s become the benchmark rack-based platform for such continuous machinery protection and facilities relying on this type of protection must have a supplier that can provide the true, verified part, when needed. Evaflux is an optimal bently Nevada 3500 System Supplier that has a comprehensive ready-to-ship catalogue that is based on the bently Nevada monitoring platform.
The 3500 Series is, in Fact, All About Mobile Devices
The 3500 Series is All About Mobile Devices
In real world implementation, the Bently Nevada of machinery protection systems continuously monitors vibration, position, and temperature signals from sensors attached to the high-value rotating equipment, and sends this data to a centralized rack where it can be detected by the operator to prevent a failure from occurring. In plants using turbines, compressors and pumps 24 hours a day, such a forecast capability is not a luxury, it’s a way to prevent unplanned plant shutdowns from occurring.
The modular architecture of the 3500 platform allows for a facility’s rack to be configured with just the monitoring, power and communication cards necessary for the facility, and then added to when needs change. This modularity is also part of the reason why it is so important to select the right replacement module; a rack designed around specific cards and card orientations won’t accept a different module, but a rack that is part of a bently Nevada 3500 System Supplier will.
Evaflux’s 3500 Series Inventory
The catalogue under this product line is by no means limited to monitoring racks, Evaflux stocks an extensive selection of racks under this product line. Evaflux offers real 3500 series modules, power supply units, communication cards and Keyphasor accessories, all tested prior to dispatch to ensure they will fit your current installation.
The Following are Some Specific Components Available
System Racks
The basic chassis which can accommodate any monitoring and I/O modules for a full 3500 system.
Power Supply Modules
Including AC/DC models which provide uninterrupted power supply to the rack despite changes in other power supplies in the plant.
Proximitor Monitor Modules
Which interpret signals from proximity probes, and track the shaft position and vibration.
Temperature Monitor Modules
Multi-channel measurement of temperature within bearings and other critical areas.
Data Manager I/O Modules
Which control the flow of communication and diagnostic data in the rack, and Transient Data Interface (TDI) modules.
Proximitor Sensors and Proximity Probes
8mm standard and reverse mount and high temperature probes for extreme temperature sensing applications.
Extension Cables
The probes and sensors were required to connect them to the monitoring rack, from just a few feet to 40 feet in length.
Older or Discontinued Components
Replacement boards, Accelerometer interface modules and PC board extenders.
This is important because a 3500 rack seldom fails as an entire unit, it’s typically one card, one probe or one cable that fails and the ability to get a part with the identical part number in the same week is the difference between a same-week repair and a prolonged outage.
The Value of Verification Before Dispatch
Everyone who ever worked with faulty or mismatched industrial parts is familiar with the cost of the problem isn’t a loss of money, it’s a loss of a monitoring system that gives false data or, worse yet, fails silently. A reliable NV 3500 System Supplier is not an afterthought; it’s an integral part of the process.
Evaflux’s Method Can Be Summed Up in a Series of Simple Steps
Ensuring Correct Part Numbers
Ensuring that it is the same part number and rack configuration as the client’s.
OEM Sourcing Verification
Checking the sourcing origin and preferring OEM channels in order to avoid the counterfeit parts that are churning in the market.
Physical and Functional Testing
Physical and functional checks of each unit before shipment, which means the shipment received is what the order was placed for.
Compatibility Verification
Ensuring compatibility with the client’s existing 3500 rack configuration, even if the part numbers are the same, there may be some variation in the firmware revision or configuration.
This is particularly critical for older and discontinued 3500 equipment, in which the OEM channel might not keep a part in stock, but a proven used or surplus part can maintain an existing rack without having to replace the entire system at an expensive cost.
This is a Product for Turbines, Compressors and Pumps
The 3500 series is typically used on rotating equipment where a failure has a high impact such as gas or steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, large pumps, and other rotating equipment in power generation, oil and gas and petrochemical facilities. In these surroundings, a few lost minutes on any random excursion can cost production hours and days. If a bently Nevada 3500 System Supplier is available to call on, it means a dropped or broken proximitor module and extends an outage while the procurement team is looking for the correct module.
We Deliver the Same High Quality of Work Within the Time Frame That Suits You Best
Getting the right part is just half the task. For its 3500 series product range, Evaflux provides quick turnaround technical support to ensure that part numbers are confirmed, existing racks are verified and that any parts that are identified as being out of stock are in the hands of the client. For a continuous plant, responsiveness is frequently the difference between a supplier that has merchandise available and a supplier that really has a business that can be counted on.
Final Thoughts
The Bently Nevada 3500 platform is so well reputed because it is able to capture problems that most operators will be unable to notice until they are too late. However, this reputation only remains with the modules, sensors and cables that are powering the system and ensuring it is verified. A thorough and highly comprehensive catalogue supplemented by a verification process specifically designed for the bently Nevada 3500 System Platform means facilities can be assured their machinery protection systems remain accurate, dependable and ready to go whenever required.
