Description
1. Product Overview
BENTLY 135785-01 is a high-performance keyphasor and speed monitoring module developed by Bently Nevada (a Baker Hughes company), exclusively designed for the 3500 machinery health monitoring system to track rotational speed, phase reference, and shaft position of critical rotating equipment like turbines, generators, and compressors. As a foundational component for machinery diagnostics, BENTLY 135785-01 provides precise speed measurements and keyphasor signals that enable vibration analysis, rotor balancing, and fault localization (e.g., identifying cracked rotors or misaligned shafts). In power plant steam turbine applications, BENTLY 135785-01 delivers real-time speed data to synchronize generators with the electrical grid; in refinery centrifugal compressor systems, BENTLY 135785-01 uses keyphasor signals to correlate vibration peaks with rotor position, simplifying fault diagnosis. Additionally, BENTLY 135785-01 supports configurable speed thresholds and alarm logic, making it essential for both protective monitoring and predictive maintenance strategies.

4. Application Fields & Cases
4.1 Application Fields
- Power Generation: Steam/gas turbine speed synchronization, generator rotor phase monitoring, hydroelectric turbine speed control
- Oil & Gas: Pipeline compressor speed regulation, LNG plant cryogenic pump keyphasor monitoring, refinery expander overspeed protection
- Petrochemical: Reactor agitator speed tracking, extruder rotor phase analysis, cooling tower fan overspeed detection
- Manufacturing: Steel mill rolling mill speed control, paper mill dryer cylinder phase monitoring, cement plant kiln drive speed protection
4.2 Typical Cases
- Gas Turbine Grid Synchronization: A 400 MW combined-cycle power plant deployed BENTLY 135785-01 to monitor turbine speed during startup. The module’s ±0.01 RPM accuracy enabled precise synchronization with the electrical grid, reducing startup time by 20% and minimizing wear on turbine components.
- Compressor Overspeed Protection: An offshore natural gas platform used BENTLY 135785-01 to protect centrifugal compressors from overspeed events. When a control valve failure caused a sudden speed increase, the module triggered a 2nd-stage overspeed trip, shutting down the compressor before damage occurred—saving $1.2 million in repairs.
- Refinery Expander Fault Diagnosis: A petrochemical refinery integrated BENTLY 135785-01 with vibration modules to analyze expander rotor faults. The keyphasor signals from BENTLY 135785-01 correlated vibration peaks with rotor position, identifying a cracked rotor blade that would have caused a catastrophic failure if left unaddressed.

6. Selection Suggestions & Precautions
6.1 Selection Suggestions
- Machinery Speed Range: BENTLY 135785-01 (0–100,000 RPM) is ideal for high-speed equipment like turbines and compressors; for low-speed machinery (≤1000 RPM), select Bently 135785-02 (optimized for low-RPM accuracy).
- Sensor Type Compatibility: Choose modules with optical sensor input support for clean environments (e.g., power plants); select magnetic pickup compatibility for harsh, dirty environments (e.g., refineries).
- Safety Requirements: Opt for ATEX/IECEx-certified versions for explosive zones; select SIL 2-rated configurations for safety-critical applications (e.g., nuclear power plant turbines).
6.2 Precautions
- Sensor Installation: Align keyphasor sensors per Bently’s recommended gap (0.5–1 mm for inductive probes) to ensure reliable signal detection; use shielded cables and ground them at the module end to minimize EMI.
- Calibration Requirements: Calibrate BENTLY 135785-01 annually using a precision tachometer (e.g., Bently Calibrator 9010) to verify speed accuracy; reconfigure alarm thresholds after calibration to maintain compliance with safety standards.
- Maintenance Checks: Inspect sensor mounting hardware every 6 months for loosening (critical for high-vibration environments); clean optical sensors regularly to prevent signal blockage from dust or debris.
- Configuration Best Practices: Set overspeed trip thresholds at 110% of rated speed (per industry standards); enable speed rate-of-change alarms to detect sudden acceleration/deceleration events (e.g., caused by gearbox failure).
