Real-time Oil Debris Monitoring for Wind Turbines
Reduce Operating Costs with MetalSCAN for Wind Turbines
Designed specifically for wind turbine platforms, the MetalSCAN MS3500 oil debris monitoring (ODM) system provides continuous monitoring of the gearbox.
MetalSCAN is a full-flow, non-obstructive, online debris detection system installed in the gearbox lubrication system. It detects the onset of surface fatigue of bearings and gears and tracks the progressive deterioration of the damage in real time, providing a continuous measure of gearbox condition.
