Abstract
The present application provides a method of evaluating insulation quality in a turbine by a data acquisition system. The method may include the steps of receiving a number of operating parameters from a number of sensors, wherein the operating parameters may include casing temperatures and insulation temperatures, comparing the casing temperatures and the insulation temperatures to predetermined casing and insulation values, and altering one or more of the operating parameters and/or initiating repair procedures if the casing temperatures fall below the casing predetermined values and/or the insulation temperatures exceed the insulation predetermined values.
