2 Gary Rees UE Systems Europe Ultrasound for Preventative and Predictive maintenance

3 Introduce Ultrasound technology and demonstrate how you can save energy, time & money! Objective

4 UE Systems Who we are and what we do Ultrasound technology & applications How & where the technology works Ultrasound at YOUR PLANT How Ultrasound can be implemented Agenda

5 Founded in 1973 in Elmsford New York, USA 43+ years experience with ULTRASOUND We are a global company: Europe UE Systems Europe, based in the Netherlands North America11 regional offices in USA, Canada & Mexico South AmericaRegional support managers Spanish AsiaUE Systems Asia, based in Hong Kong + over 200 local distribution partners worldwide! Who are we and what do we do

6 PULSE ECHO POWER AIR & STRUCTURE BORNE Medical applications Tickness gauge Flaw detection in solids Cleaning Welding and cutting AIRBORNE STRUCTURE BORNE ULTRASOUND DIVISIONS How & where the technology works

7 What we need to produce Ultrasound

8 How & where the technology works Leak detection Valve inspection Mechanical inspection Electrical inspection Custom solution

9 Leaks: Why leak detection? -> Economics: leaks cost money -> Environment: CO 2 reduction & special gasses -> Safety: Flammable gasses Our digital Ultraprobes can report the cost per leak! 1 - find it 2 - tag & record 3 - report! How & where the technology works

10 Valves: Inspection using our A-B-C-D method Listening and recording dB levels at 4 test points will give accurate information if the valve is leaking A leak in flow direction after the valve will create turbulence, fluids or gasses A=33 dBB=48 dB D=42 dB A B C D C=59 dB How & where the technology works

11 Check steam traps regularly to cut energy cost & optimize efficiency Testing steam traps while in operation: Test for correct operation (modulating valves) Test for leakage when in closed condition Determine location of sound emission (confirming diagnoses) Report the steam loss into yearly cost reporting How & where the technology works Steam traps: Very expensive to build and operate!

12 For evaluating steam traps we need: Ultrasound & temperature + Analyze the condition and report the yearly losses with our Data management software (DMS) & Spectralyser software + How & where the technology works GOOD BAD

13 Proactive Domain F Predictive Domain Fault Domain P2 P3 P5 P6 P4 P1 P Start Failure Vibration Oil analysis Audible noise Contact heat Infrared Structure Borne Ultrasound EARLY WARNING OF BEARING FAILURE LUBRICATION DOMAIN OPTIMIZING BEARING LIFE! (DMS & GREASE CADDY) Max time for planning How & where the technology works Mechanical inspection: CBM of bearings & lubrication optimization

14 Using ultrasound technology for trending bearing condition: -> Indicating early warning of failure -> Identifying lubrication condition -> Avoiding over lubrication Friction between mechanical components will cause a sound energy The dB levels can be used to evaluate condition and set alarm levels at each condition with the help of DMS software: Baseline +8dB = Lubrication alarm Baseline +12dB = Microscopic damage Baseline +16dB = Visual damage 88 dB70 dB How & where the technology works Example: GOOD BAD

15 Condition based lubrication -> avoiding over lubrication! The right amount of grease based on the condition at that moment 1- Getting your lubrication report from DMS, go out and perform lubrication 2- The Grease Caddy 401 will tell you things regarding lubrication: – When to stop lubricating. – How many strokes used. – Cost of the lubrication process How & where the technology works

16 InfraRed = RESISTANCE problems Ultrasound = DISCHARGE and MECHANICAL problems This applies for any type of equipment and can be detected from a distance! Inspect switchgears at the air gaps before opening doors IMPROVING SAFETY STANDARDS FOR THE INSPECTOR: 1- Ultrasound from a distance 2- Open doors and 2 nd scan 3- IR on resistance problems Find more and be safe! How & where the technology works Electrical discharge: Will cause the air to vibrate and create a sound

17 The Ultraprobe will find early stages of: -Corona -Tracking -Arcing -Mechanical looseness Up to 30 meters with help of the Ultrasonic Waveform Concentrator How & where the technology works

18 Introduction training On site, ½ a day introductory training Type specific training 2 ½ day training to implement a workable program at you plant Level 1 training Certified In-depth training on the technology and instruments Ultrasound at your plant

19 -> Easy to use and quick to learn! -> 1 instrument for many applications -> Training and support available to you at all times -> Regular updates on enhancing software reporting -> DMS & Spectralyser software update & license free! -> 5 year factory warranty The Ultraprobe series will produce results and be highly cost effective for you! Ultraprobe 15,000 Ultraprobe 10,000 Ultraprobe 9000 Grease Caddy 401 WWW.UESYSTEMS.CO.UK Ultraprobe 3000 Benefits
