TurVEx - Turbine exhaust zone Monitor
The Turbine Exhaust Zone Monitor (TurVEx) continuously tracks exhaust pressure and flow in real time to ensure turbines operate within safe zones. It raises an alert or can optionally shut down the system if unsafe conditions persist for too long.
FEATURES
- Real-time pressure & flow monitoring
- OEM-defined or custom-defined zone support (A/B/C/D etc.)
- Timer-based zone residency tracking
- Alarm/Trip (optional) trigger on unsafe zone residency
- Optional: SCADA integration for XY plot
- Optional: HMI for Operating Zone & Time Display
- Optional: Logging, Reporting, Web access
If this monitoring is not done, what harm could occur?
- Blade tip erosion
- Back pressure issues
- Reduced turbine efficiency
- Long-term mechanical fatigue
- OEM warranty may be void (if zones are ignored)
If this monitoring is not performed and the turbine continues to run in unsafe zones for a prolonged period, the following issues may occur:
Why Are Most People Not Monitoring This?
Reason |
Explanation |
| Given by manufacturer but often ignored | Paper-based zone limits are provided, but not implemented in real-time logic |
| "Trip to avoid" mentality | Plants fear unplanned shutdowns, so they avoid setting alarms or trips |
| Budget constraints | Instrumentation for turbine retrofits is often treated as a low priority |
| Lack of awareness | Many operators don’t realize that zone monitoring is even possible |
| Technical barriers | People assume that building such logic is too complex or costly |
BENEFITS
- Prevents prolonged unsafe operation
- Avoids costly downtime and damage
- Improves operator awareness through live visualization
- Logs zone activity for audits and maintenance planning
- OEM zone enforcement with zero habit change
WHY CHOOSE US?
- Proven industrial-grade implementation
- No new sensors required (uses existing pressure and flow transmitters)
- SCADA-ready and customizable
- Minimal footprint — Maximum protection
WHAT TURVEX SOLVe
- Most turbines lack real-time zone monitoring.
- Our module detects unsafe zones using pressure-flow data.
- Triggers warning or trip if limits are crossed.
- Ensures OEM compliance and protects turbine life.
