How Sentech Supports Steam Turbine OEMs with High-Quality Sensors

At Sentech, we take great pride in partnering with both Gas Turbine and Steam Turbine manufacturers in the world to provide high-quality LVDTs and RVDTs. These sensors are critical for the proper operation of the products produced by Gas and Steam Turbine OEMs.

With our products, OEM partners enjoy the reliable performance, unparalleled accuracy, and granular, fine-tuned control they need to address the challenges of managing power production in today’s rapidly-changing world.

Sentech Provides Steam Turbine OEMs With LVDTs & RVDTS

We’re proud to partner with some of the leading Steam Turbine manufacturers in the industrial power industry, including General Electric, Siemens, and Mitsubishi. Our sensors can be found in industrial turbines from these companies and many leading Steam Turbine manufacturers in the world.

From building brand-new sensors to designing and implementing sensors as replacement parts for worn-down or failing units, Sentech has the skill, expertise, and qualifications necessary to handle jobs of any type or size.

Understanding How LVDTs And RVDTs Are Used In Industrial Power Generation

LVDTs and RVDTs serve a similar purpose when used by both Gas Turbine OEMs and Steam Turbine OEMs. They are sensors that are designed to measure power generation in turbines and provide feedback to industrial computers and systems that adjust accordingly to provide the desired amount of power generation.

In steam turbines, an LVDT or RVDT controls the flow of steam through the inlet in the turbine – closing the inlet reduces steam flow and power generation, while opening it lets in more steam, and increases rotational speed and power generation. These LVDTs are usually larger and have high-temperature requirements. They are also designed to work in rigid environments. Although there is no real risk of explosions when dealing with Steam Turbines, we design our LVDTs and RVDTs with explosive environment certification because explosions can happen. This makes our LVDTs for Steam Turbines exceedingly safe.

Increasingly, these sensors are being used with automated systems to provide 24/7 feedback for industrial power plants – adjusting steam or fuel flow to reduce or increase power generation on-demand without the intervention of workers. For this reason, highly precise, accurate, long-lasting sensors are becoming even more important for Steam Turbine OEMs.

Our LVDTs And RVDTs Provide Excellent Accuracy, Durability, And Wear Resistance

Why do the leading Steam Turbine generator manufacturers in the world turn to Sentech? Because we have years of experience in the production of LVDTs and RVDTs for both Gas and Steam Turbines. Our experience building sensors for the combustion-based, gas environment has enabled us to provide superior results when building Steam Turbines.

Our team of engineers and design experts build sensors that meet strict temperature requirements, work under heavy vibrations, and can hold up to the unique conditions of Steam Turbines for prolonged use, as well as reinforced units that are designed for the explosive environment of Gas Turbines.

With our help, Gas and Steam Turbine generator manufacturers can get the sensors they need for unparalleled precision, durability, and longevity. We specialize in creating new sensors for newly-designed products, as well as designing 1:1 replacements for existing Gas and Steam Turbine generators.
