Low Voltage Shaft Generator and Auxiliary

Propulsion System (PTO/PTI)
A PTO generation solution not only utilizes surplus power from

the propulsion engines but also helps operate them at a more
efficient point. The PTI mode is an economical solution to
increase the power and efficiency of propulsion for any kind of
vessel, such as converting energy from the waste heat recovery
system of a main engine into electric power. This additional
power is used in the electric motor installed on the main shaft
line to increase the vessels speed. It can also be connected
to the gearbox on a medium-speed main engine propulsion
system. PTI mode can also be used with the main engine declutched, as an auxiliary propulsion system in case of main
engine maintenance or emergency.
Solution & Scope
Typical scope includes a generation
system delivering low voltage
electrical power to main switchboards.
Completely reversible, it can also be
used in motor mode (PTI).
Individual drive trains include an Active
Front End (AFE) converter. According
to network voltage level, it can be
connected directly to the grid or via
a step-down transformer. It uses an
AFE configuration and pulse width
modulated (PWM) filter to achieve line
current harmonic content within marine
standard class limits. The PWM machine

Expander-Compressor with Active

Magnetic Bearings
GEs Expander-Compressors with active magnetic bearings
(AMBs) were introduced to the natural gas process industries
in the early 1990s. Due to their space and weight advantages,
these reliable, oil-free units are the preferred solution for
offshore applications.
Solution & Scope
GEs Expander-Compressors with
active magnetic bearings offer

anti-vibration mount (AVM) to isolate
the unit from vibrations of the deck

AMB Expander-Compressor Components

Radial Bearings
The radial bearings use electromagnets placed on the stator

to create magnetic field that center the laminations.
Inductive position sensors installed near the electromagnets
allow the bearings to react to load variation, including
external disturbance forces.
Axial Bearing
The axial bearing is based on the same principles as the

radial bearings. The rotor is disk-mounted perpendicular to
the rotation axis and opposite the electromagnets. Position
sensors located at the shaft end can monitor any axial
position problems encountered.
Auxiliary
Bearings
Auxiliary bearing or landing bearings are typically

dry-lubricated ball bearings that hold the weight of the rotor
while the machine is off. These emergency backup bearings
are used in the event of AMB system failure.
Magnetic Control
Loop (PID)
The PID control establishes the bearing characteristics by

modifying the error signal with phase (damping) and gain
(stiffness), changing the strength of the electromagnetic
fields to help center the rotor.
Instruments
Instruments used on GEs AMB Expander-Compressor include:

RTD
Vibration positioning: V & W axis allow for 5-axis control
Axial positioning

Bearing Control
Panel
The bearing control cabinet must be located in a safe area.

It is also important to note the distance between the skid

AMB Control
Panel
All signals are sent to the AMB control panel that houses the
processor, amplifiers, and monitoring system for the entire
AMB Expander-Compressor system. In the event of UPS
power failure, a backup power supply system can be
mounted inside or outside the AMB control panel, depending
on the overall power required by the system.

Sentinel LCT4 High Accuracy

Ultrasonic Flow Meter
A new addition to the Panametrics line of ultrasonic flow

meters, the Sentinel LCT4 is designed spe-cifically for high
accuracy measurement of crude oil, other liquid refined
hydrocarbon products, and other non-hydrocarbon liquids. It
delivers extremely reliable and repeatable results and meets
the strict performance requirements of OIML R117.
Solution & Scope
The LCT4 refines the high-reliability
characteristics of its predecessor,
the Sentinel LCT, into an aesthetically
designed, compact meter body with
integral cables, no extended buffers
and no junction boxes. It continues to
retain all advantages of ultrasonic flow
measurement, including no drifting
or required periodic calibration; no
pressure drop; no restriction in the pipe;
and no moving parts, filters or strainers.
Suitable applications include liquid
custody transfer measurement,
allocation measure-ment, pipeline
leak detection, crude oil and refined
products, and any critical liquid process
requiring high accuracy and precision.
199
Benefits
Viscosity independent. The LCT4
uses a number of proprietary
algorithms to reduce viscosity
effects, making it viscosity
independent. The meter retains
its accuracy over the whole range
between minimum and maximum
viscosity, using only one calibration
curve.
Real-time flow data. The Panaview
software, which facilitates
communication between the
Sentinel LCT4 and a PC, provides
real-time flow data, and it also can do
historical tracking and create a full
configuration audit trail.
No recalibration necessary. There
is no need for recalibration when
replacing transducers or electronics,
since that has been independently
tested by NMI as part of the OIML
certification.
Position
Advanced electronics. The Sentinel

LCT4 electronics have digital signal
processors that pack significant
power in a single package.
Electronics are integrated with
the flow cell body in a single unit,
but also can be mounted remotely
using an adapter and cable. Local
programming and diag-nostic access
happen through magnetic induction
to preserve hazardous area integrity.

configurations under different flow
scenarios.
Performance
Active Temperature Compensation*.

To achieve the best possible
flow measurement accu-racy,
Sentinel LNGs Active Temperature
Compensation process uses a
pulse echo to measure dead time,
i.e., the time the electronic signal is
converted into a transducer and the
time the acoustic signal travels inside
the transducer. By sending a pulse
and measuring its reflection at the
end of the transducer, the dead time
is measured in real time rather than
according to a preset value.

DigitalFlow XGF868i Flare Gas Mass

Flow Ultrasonic Transmitter
The DigitalFlow XGF868i flow meter is an ideal choice for

flare gas applications as well as vent gas, biogases, and
hydrocarbon and digester gases. It uses the pat-ented
Correlation Transit-Time* technique, digital signal processing,
and an accu-rate method of calculating molecular weight,
and it exhibits the inherent advan-tage of ultrasonic flow
measurement reliability with no routine maintenance, high
accuracy, fast response and wide rangeability.
Solution & Scope
The DigitalFlow XGF868i handles flare
gas so well because it tracks down or
prevents leakage losses with positive
material identification, accounts for total
plant throughput of material, reduces
steam usage costs with proportional
control, and conserves energy by
eliminating unnecessary flaring.
Benefits
