The application of modern methods of vibration diagnostics in detecting potential faults in rotating equipment

Abstract

Industrial systems require absolute productivity in order to achieve maximum profits and meet economic objectives. To accomplish this, systems need to be maintained and diagnosed in an adequate, precise, and reliable manner. Modern diagnostic techniques, such as vibration diagnostics, enable timely action to prevent potential major failures and unplanned downtime, which are the most undesirable costs within a production system. The implementation of vibration diagnostic controls provides a precise and clear picture of the condition of rotating equipment and machinery, such as pumps, compressors, and turbines. By analyzing signals collected from measurement points, the condition of the machines can be determined, and a maintenance plan can be established for the upcoming period.
