Inside the Binsfeld Sea Trial Kit: Professional Diagnostic Architecture
The Binsfeld Sea Trial Kit is a turn-key, portable solution engineered for naval architects and marine engineers who require high-precision torque, speed, and power data during short-term trials. Every component is selected to ensure rapid setup and laboratory-grade accuracy in a marine field environment.
1. Ruggedized Mobile Command Center
The entire system is housed in a Robust Carrying Case designed for extreme portability and equipment protection.
-
Integrated Infrastructure: Stationary receivers and data acquisition hardware are hard-mounted into the case, reducing setup time.
-
Logistics-Ready: Featuring a retractable handle, heavy-duty wheels, and a compact footprint (30.5 x 48 x 57 cm), it is optimized for easy transport through narrow ship corridors and steep gangways.
-
Storage-Optimized: Includes dedicated space for all sensors and mounting accessories, ensuring no critical components are left behind.
2. Dual-Channel TorqueTrak 10K Telemetry
For twin-screw vessels, the kit includes a pair of TorqueTrak 10K Telemetry Units, allowing for the simultaneous measurement of two independent shafts. * Wireless Precision: These units utilize non-contact telemetry to transmit torque signals to the integrated receivers without signal interference.
3. High-Resolution Dual RPM Channels
Accurate power calculation requires precise shaft speed data. The kit features a complete RPM sensing suite:
-
Magnetic Mounting: Includes a pair of RPM pickups on magnetically-mounted adjustable arms, allowing for non-destructive, rapid attachment to the shaft housing.
-
Extended Reach: Each pickup includes 9 meters (30’) of cable, feeding directly into the integrated data acquisition system for centralized monitoring.
4. Field Test 2: Advanced Data Acquisition (DAQ)
The heart of the kit is the Field Test 2 Data Acquisition System, which automates the complex process of power calculation.
-
Automated Computation: The system syncs torque and RPM data in real-time to calculate total shaft power automatically.
-
Universal Data Export: All trials are logged and exported in .csv or .xls (Excel) formats, enabling immediate post-trial analysis and professional reporting.
-
PC Connectivity: Includes a high-speed USB data interface for real-time visualization and control via laptop or workstation.
