The MPN100 system allows for real-time monitoring and failure detection of rotating machines in the nuclear industry to improve efficiency and reduce costs. It performs automatic analysis to detect potential failures like unbalance, misalignment, bearing and gear wear. This early failure detection allows for optimized maintenance and avoidance of catastrophic failures. The system uses various sensors and analyzes data using proprietary algorithms to monitor conditions and detect issues in nuclear power plants, experimental reactors, and other nuclear facilities and equipment.

- 2. The MPN100 system is a powerful tool devoted to the nuclear industry that allows controlling the operating status of rotating, thermal, or alternative machines in real time. The main purpose is to improve the efficiency of production processes based on machines regardless their type, size, and output. The MPN100 system performs an incipient and automatic analysis of probable failures operating in a threshold prior to their occurrence. The system works automatically and online on machines under operation allowing failures to be detected earlier and thereby reducing operating and maintenance costs significantly. It can detect the following conditions: • Unbalance • Misalignment • Blows • Bearing wear • Gear wear • Poor operation of hydrodynamic bearing • Mechanical and/or acoustic resonant coupling • Foundation problems • Status of piston rings in alternative machines (auxiliary systems) • Poor operation of valves • Detection of loose parts • Degradation of heat exchanger pipes • Unclassified failures • Other analyses through consultancy services The benefits resulting from using this system are: • Early detection of incipient failures and anticipation of their consequences • Optimization and effectiveness of maintenance activities using the predictive failure system • Optimization of the productive process • Reduction of carrying costs and of spare part costs and reduction or removal of fines imposed by control entities due to the suspension of machine operation • Reduction of unplanned stops and idle times • Significant reduction of catastrophic failures

- 4. Diagram of the System Instrumentation Sitrack Vibes has subscribed a representation and joint development agreement with Meggitt Sensing Systems, the world’s leading instrumentation Company. The MPN100 system uses signals from sensors located within machines and process signals. The system supports sensors existing at the power station and additional sensors are installed as required. Signals from various sensors are used, including: • Accelerometers • Proximity sensors • Pressure sensors • Temperature sensors • Air gap • Process variables Sitrack Vibes provides instrumentation suitable for environments with high levels of radiation and high temperature.
- 5. Protection - VM600 System Sitrack Vibes commercializes the VM600 protection system belonging to Meggitt Sensing Systems (former Vibro-Meter). This is a world leading protection system for gas and steam turbine applications. By means of the joint development agreement subscribed between Sitrack Vibes and Meggitt Sensing Systems, algorithms to protect rotating parts that provide unique features have been developed. Local Monitor Monitoring, analysis, and diagnosis functions are carried out by a local monitor installed at the power station. This monitor receives field signals and performs data conditioning, filtering, and acquisition tasks. Information is processed using an industrial computer placed within the monitor. Algorithms and analysis models for machines are the sole property and design of Sitrack Vibes. The local monitor generates on-line information on the status of the machine, as well as alarm and temporary reports. This information is sent to the local control room of the power station and to Sitrack Vibes. Control Room The local control room shows the diagnosis on the machine status in real time. Alarms and reports that contain all the signals and parameters measured are also provided. Additionally, temporary signals, spectral signals, and historical trends can be analyzed.
- 6. Sitrack Vibes Facilities Sitrack Vibes servers are located in the city of Mendoza. They are equipped with the elements and tools required to post- process signals received and to store reports and inform alarms. On-line information on machinery status as well as report and historical alarm information can be accessed through the Web. Sitrack Vibes facilities accommodate a 24/7 monitoring room. When an alarm is produced, it is received and processed by Sitrack Vibes operators, who later inform it to the contact persons previously defined by clients by telephone, fax, or e-mail. Sitrack Vibes also have a mechanical and nuclear analysis service led by expert engineers. This service ensures that machines are monitored every day and that analyses and trends on incipient failure signs are prepared. This customized service is provided optionally and operates in parallel with the on-line and automatic analysis and diagnosis features of MPN100.
