Overview

The Bently Nevada 79512-01 Temperature Monitor provides six independent input channels, each capable of accepting thermocouple signals for real-time temperature monitoring. It is a rack-mounted module that integrates into the 3300/30 and 3300/35 Series systems, ensuring seamless compatibility with other vibration and machinery protection modules.

This monitor is engineered for API 670 compliance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments such as power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, and heavy manufacturing. By continuously tracking temperature data, it helps operators detect overheating, bearing wear, or process anomalies before they escalate into costly failures.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Turbine monitoring systems in power plants, tracking bearing and casing temperatures.

• Compressor and pump monitoring in petrochemical facilities, ensuring safe operation of rotating equipment.

• Oil and gas refineries, where continuous temperature monitoring prevents overheating and shutdowns.

• Heavy manufacturing plants, supporting predictive maintenance for motors, gearboxes, and production machinery.

For example, in a steam turbine installation, the 79512-01 Temperature Monitor processes thermocouple inputs from multiple bearings, enabling operators to detect abnormal heat buildup and schedule maintenance before damage occurs.
