LMS Test.Lab Turbine Testing provides a highly advanced and all-digital solution for the specific difficulties, associated with complex turbine testing processes. Turbines and compressors of jet engines or power plants are subjected to stringent performance verification testing. Since this kind of testing is very expensive and highly demanding – yet compulsory to get certified – tests needs to be performed properly the first time. Measurement data should be safe and usable, and the personnel and test object safety must be guaranteed.
Turbine testing presents particular challenges in terms of instrumentation, performance and data management. Not only is there a large variety of turbine testing-specific transducers, the cabling to different measuring systems is intricate and costly. Since turbines are tested for extreme conditions, the instrumentation needs to be able to withstand these harsh circumstances. Given the delicate testing setup, uninterrupted recording of all channels is crucial as is real-time monitoring, alarming, and post-processing. This continuous data recording produces very large data sets which need to be handled and shared between different departments and sites.
LMS Test.Lab Turbine Testing offers an efficient, all-digital and user-friendly solution for all these turbine testing issues. The test setup configuration is completely digitalized and integrates signal conditioning, which offers perfect traceability and is error-free. With a few mouse-clicks, users can easily re-configure the entire setup. The network-enabled digital recorders with integrated signal conditioning are connected to a giga-bit network that in turn is linked to a server for online data consolidation. Measurement results are thus directly downloaded on a central server, which only requires standard IT data management and can be accessed by different departments from various sites. The LMS Test.Lab Turbine Testing solution provides excellent signal quality and maximum flexibility.
