The Machinery Monitoring Systems Snapshot® Engine Balancer is a single channel portable analyzer for slow-speed, natural gas fueled engine balancing. It includes an ignition clip to allow the operator to first verify proper functioning ignition on all cylinders before attempting to balance an engine. The quick ignition test provides a green, yellow, or red indication of ignition quality based on breakdown voltage and spark duration. These parameters are user definable on a per-engine basis. After verifying good ignition, the operator can then proceed with collecting “As-Found” balance data. After making appropriate adjustments to fuel flow the operator can collect “As-Left balance data.
The belt worn data acquisition module has a rechargeable battery and a single connection for the pressure sensor and the secondary spark clip. The module then transmits the collected data to the Snapshot tablet wirelessly and securely via encrypted Wi-Fi.
Pressure and ignition curves are displayed on the Snapshot tablet screen for the operator. Engine Balance and Ignition reports are available in PDF format for saving, printing or emailing through our proprietary MachineryRx® Platform.
