Operation Principle

of the ZET 7140-R Digital Cavitation Sensors

Digital cavitation sensor design includes a primary transducer (a transducer with a sensing element made of ceramic piezoelectric materials) and a measuring unit (ZET 7140-R).

The primary transducer is installed on the object to be studied and connected to the measuring unit. The measuring unit performs analogous-digital conversion of the signal from the transducer to the vibration parameter values. The measurement results are transmitted via CAN interface.

The characteristics of the primary transducer are set in the device memory and measurements are performed with those parameters taken into account.

Thus, the use of digital sensors releases the user from the necessity of the measuring channels setting and data processing.

Purpose

of the ZET 7140-R Digital Cavitation Sensors

Erosion Assessment
Erosion - Operation Mode Dependency
Turbine Cavitation Characteristics Improvement

Erosion Forecasting
Change Tracking, Accidents Discovery
Turbine, Hydro Power Plant Operation Optimization

Cavitation is formation of cavities filled with gas, vapor, or mixture thereof, in a flowing liquid.

Cavitation leads to pressure surges, acoustic radiation, and, sometimes, to dangerous vibrations of the machine.

Consequences of cavitation are directly visible during maintenance. So, it is best of all to observe the object in real time to determine the source of erosion and to find answers to such questions as: “what working points are subjected to erosion most of all?” “which parts cause erosion?” Testing in the form of a continuous monitoring are required for tracking the effects of time and discovering changes related to faults. Most often, such objects for observation are turbines, HPPs.

The only practical method of testing and monitoring is the use of cavitation sensors (vibroacoustic sensors) installed on a turbine to listen to the cavitation noise and assess the cavitation effects such as turbine parts vibrations.

Digital cavitation sensors are intended for cavitation processes study, ultrasonic measurements in liquid mediums. The ZET 7140-R measuring unit receives a broadband acoustic signals emitted by the primary transducers and determines the level of cavitation.

Test impact types

AC - alternating signal

FR: «Required frequency value»: «Frequency tolerance» – alternating signal frequency;

AM: «Required signal amplitude value»: «Signal amplitude tolerance» – alternating signal amplitude;

OF: «Generated signal bias»: «Generated signal bias tolerance» – generated signal bias;

TM: «Signal analysis time» – signal control time (minimal signal analysis time for transient processes or long-time tests)

Example:
AC;FR:0.5:0.01;AM:0.4:0.002;OF:0.1:0.0001;TM:5 –

DC - constant signal

LE: «Required signal level»: «Signal level tolerance» – generated signal level.

TM: «Signal analysis time» – control signal time (signal analysis minimal time for transient and long-time processes tests)

Example:

DC;LE:0.5:0.001;TM:5 –

Example:
ST2;MD:10:10.5;TM:6 –
stepwise change: for 10..10.5 units in modulus, minimal signal control time – 6 s.

PPS - Pulse-per-second signal

SP: «Acceptable counts deviation» – amount of counts before or after start of a second.

Level change to be checked one time in a second.

Example:
PPS;SP:2 –
the change should take place in the beginning of a second, 2 counts.

Device type is selected from the dropdown list. In order to select a device, pick an element with left mouse key and choose a device to be checked from the list.

Use selector to set particular test. To set the test number click the number with left mouse key and set the required value by scroll. If the self-check is on, the selector will not be available until the user stops the project or the self-check is over. There is a key for start / stop of the process. The green key means that the diagnostics process is on, grey key stands for for idle state.

Indicator is a timer showing the elapsing time of the current test. The countdown is started after beginning of any test. Test results are available in the log.
