Overview
ModAE’s OverSpeed Detection Systems are designed to safeguard critical rotating machinery by monitoring and controlling speed conditions, preventing catastrophic equipment failure due to overspeed events. These systems ensure the safe operation of turbines and other high-speed equipment by employing advanced sensors and real-time control mechanisms to quickly detect and mitigate overspeed scenarios.
Key Features
- SIL-Rated Speed Sensors
Utilizes SIL3-rated sensors conforming to ANSI/ISA and IEC standards, ensuring reliable speed measurement and control in high-demand safety applications. The sensors offer high precision and can operate in harsh conditions, providing robust protection in critical scenarios. - Real-Time Speed Monitoring
Continuously monitors the rotational speed of machinery, providing instant feedback to control systems. This allows for rapid response and intervention to prevent damage from reaching critical levels. - Automated Shutdown Mechanism
Equipped with an automated shutdown function that activates when unsafe speed limits are detected. This immediate response protects both the equipment and surrounding systems from potential damage or failure. - Environmental Durability
Designed to operate in extreme temperatures and challenging environments, the systems maintain high reliability even in harsh industrial conditions, ensuring consistent performance.
