The DGHMS is a compact, rugged data acquisition and critical operating parameters of a generator system and automated control of its operation based on signals received from the PC

The system is designed where continuous availability of power is a critical requirement such as manufacturing industries, large commercial complexes, hospitals, techparks, Theatres the system provides direct connectivity to many sensors such as strain gauge, thermocouples, thermistors, piezoelectric transducers among others

Why continuous monitoring is crucial
Parameter if not monitored
Consequence

Cooling water temperature/pressure

Excessive expansion of components resulting in failure Wear and scale formation

Crank case pressure

Engine block blow off Wearing of piston rings/ cracks in piston crown Possible explosion of the engine

Exhaust gas temperature

Burning of exhaust valves resulting in damage to turbocharger Excessive damage to piston

Bearing temperature Lube oil temperature/ pressure

Crankshaft seizure Overheating of piston top and seizure

Engine speed

Connecting rod bushings, rod bearings, main bearings could be damaged

Wear/ Tear in fuel line, turbocharger

Results in slow and steady damage to the machinery

Bearing clearance

Large impact on vibration and noise of machine Avoid misalignments in shafts, blocks or connecting rods
