24765-01-00 Bently Nevada Case Expansion Transducer Systems

An important position measurement in Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) is case expansion. Case expansion (sometimes referred to as shell expansion) is the thermal growth of the machine case as it expands during machine startup and on-line operations. The case expansion transducer system is typically mounted on the foundation at the opposite end from where the turbine casing is attached to the foundation and provides

information about the growth of the machine case relative to the foundation.
