Condition Monitoring Case Studies
Hydro Condition Monitoring: Drive-End Bearing Overgrease Detection
Overgrease detected at startup; temperature normalised without downtime. Konductor's condition monitoring distinguished between bearing failure symptoms and benign overgreasing, avoiding unnecessary shutdowns.
Key Results
Challenge: After routine maintenance, the Pelton turbine's drive-end bearing showed a temperature spike immediately after startup. Without continuous condition monitoring and a clear baseline, teams can mistake overgreasing symptoms for bearing failure, risking unnecessary shutdowns, emergency callouts, or premature component replacement. Monthly reporting is too slow to separate benign overgrease events from emerging faults.
Solution: The Konductor platform ingested live bearing temperature and vibration from the HMI/PLC. We compared signals against the site's baseline and post-maintenance expected profile. Konductor flagged an abnormal temperature rise without corresponding vibration growth, a classic signature of overgreasing/grease churning rather than mechanical damage.
