🚨 When a $50 Sensor Failure Caused a $35,000 Breakdown 🚨 What seemed like a minor oil leak in a bearing housing led to a full-scale failure in a power plant’s generator cooling system, all because an RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) silently failed. Here’s what happened: 🔹 The RTD, embedded in a sleeve bearing, was supposed to monitor temperature and trigger alarms if overheating occurred. 🔹 Oil seeped into the RTD housing due to a degraded seal — shorting the sensor and freezing the reading at a “normal” 70°C. 🔹 The actual bearing temp shot past 120°C, unnoticed. With no alarms triggered, the bearing overheated, seized, and damaged the shaft. 🔹 The result? ❌ Cooling fan failure, ⚠️ 4 days of downtime, and 💸 $35K in repairs and losses. Key Lessons: A "stable" sensor reading isn't always a good thing. Flatlined signals can hide failures. Use oil-tight RTDs in bearing applications where oil ingress is possible. Implement SCADA logic that flags lack of signal change, not just threshold breaches. 🔧 A tiny sensor failure caused massive ripple effects, but it could have been caught early. 📊 Are you relying too much on a sensor design with no leakage protecting for critical monitoring? #PredictiveMaintenance #ReliabilityEngineering #RTD #Bearings #IndustrialAutomation #SCADA #AssetManagement #CaseStudy #MaintenanceMatters #Technoinstruments #leakeproof #BTD #Accuratetemperaturesensing #lubeloc #bestsolution #powerindustry #boostingproductivity #zerodowntime
