Green-y uses PCH vibration monitoring equipment for R&D data acquisition

Green-y has developed a patented, highly efficient oil-free compressor with a capacity of up to 90 kW.

They reached out to us for a monitoring solution that would help them understand system dynamics, optimise performance, and adjust parameters for long-term protection of their compressor.

 

Green-Y has been using PCH monitoring equipment during the R&D stages to gain insights into the operation of their patented oil-free, high-efficiency compressor.

We customised the first monitoring kit in close collaboration with the client to ensure a plug-and-play solution.

With a 4-channel PCH 1420 Vibration Monitor and the PCH EtherBridge, a wide range of real-time data – including time waveform recordings – is transferred to Green-Y’s PLC system via a standard OPC UA protocol.

 

The solution helps the R&D team perform preliminary FFT spectrum analysis and other in-depth evaluations to understand system dynamics, optimise performance, and adjust parameters for long-term protection. Two measuring points on the bearing housing provide vibration and resonance monitoring for bearing condition assessment. Thanks to mounting pads, no drilling is required.

 

 

 

We look forward to supporting Green-Y on their scale-up journey towards cleaner and more efficient compressed-air technology.
