System Configuration

Basic System

When used for large rotating machinery, it acquires phase mark signals and shaft vibration waveform, processes phase analysis and frequency analysis, and then displays the information in various graphs for further analysis. For small rotating machinery, infiSYS acquires acceleration vibration waveform of casing and the information is displayed with graphs based on the frequency analysis.

Configuration Example for Large Rotating Machinery

Based on the vibration waveform detected by shaft vibration sensors, the system provides vibration monitoring and anomaly analysis for rated-speed operation, and shaft behavior analysis for critical startup/shutdown.

Configuration Example for Small Rotating Machinery

Based on the vibration detected by acceleration sensors installed on the bearing housings, the system provides trend management and abnormality diagnostics not only on overall vibration but also on vibration of each fault frequency resulting from bearing failure.

Applications

  • Steam turbines
  • Gas turbines
  • Hydro turbines Electric generators
  • Feed pumps
  • Fans
  • Blowers
  • Compressors
  • BOP machinery
  • Rotating equipment critical to your facility

Data Display Examples

This shows the vibration vector at the time of critical startup/shutdown of the machine. From this plot, the user can observe the balancing condition, vibration levels and critical speed during the startup/shutdown of the machine.
Displayed data (Switchable display): 1X, 2X
This allows over lay of current data on top of past data.

This plot is used to analyze changes in frequency components that occur over time.
Cascade plot can also be displayed with width (z-axis) as rotation speed to analyze changes in frequency components in relation to changes in rotation speed.

This plot displays short term and long term chronological changes using a line chart.
Displayed data (multiple selections are allowed): Rotation speed, GAP, OA, 0.5X amplitude, 0.5X phase, 1X amplitude, 1X phase, 2X amplitude, 2X phase, Not-1X amplitude, nX1 to nX4 amplitude and phase, Smax amplitude, various alarm setting values.

The 3D illustration of rotating machinery diagram displays the rotation speed as well as the location and the vibration amplitude of each measuring point.
For each machine, current values can be displayed in a list view.

This plot composes signals from each X and Y sensor and displays the dynamic motion of the center of a rotating shaft.
The Orbit plot helps to identify any abnormal status including imbalance, misalignment, oil whirl and oil whip.

This plot displays the amplitude and phase in separate graphs with rotation speed used as the horizontal axis.
From this plot, the user can see the vibration status and critical speed during the startup/shutdown of the machine.
Displayed data (Switchable display): 1X, 2X
This allows over lay of current data on top of past data.

Case Studies

Unbalanced Vibration

The most common abnormal vibration is due to the mismatch between shaft center and mass center, due to manufacturing error or machine components missing.
The characteristic of the vibration generates the rotation synchronous component (1X), which is sine wave or similar. Vibration becomes largest at critical speed.

Oil Whirl Vibration

Self-excited, unstable vibration typical for sleeve bearing supported rotating machinery. Possible causes include effects from the shape of the sleeve bearing, oil film characteristics, etc. Normally, this vibration appears at two or less times lower the critical speed, and the frequency is around half the rotation synchronous frequency (0.5X).

Misalignment Vibration

Vibration that occurs when the shaft centers of driving rotating machinery and its associated driven rotating machinery are not properly aligned. Typically the vibration includes rotation synchronous frequency component (1X) and harmonic components (2X, 3X).

Loss of Rotor Component

Polar plot

When a piece of rotor component is lost/flies off, unbalanced vibration condition suddenly changes. The typical phenomenon includes sudden changes in the amplitude and phase angle (vibration vector) of the rotation synchronous frequency component (1X).
