Short Description
[Practical procedure to detect misalignment conditions in packages to gas
compression Stations]
Note: This procedure was developed by the author to help identify misalignment through a
practical procedure, however the author give thanks everyone that can use this and can
demonstrate their application.
For that, we use the correct units to take amplitude of vibration due to forcing force
in the coupled shaft to engines and compressor, in this case is selected; Mils P-P,
to capture all energy in bearings shell depending what kind of machine be
evaluated. We need to draw a line that represent the position of both shaft under
conditions of alignment.
This model take; 1X and 2X order to plotting the line that say us, in what position
is running the shaft to engine and compressor, you can take until 6X to evaluate
wear in connrod and main bearings shell under correlation analysis, but at this time
we only treat 1X and 2X order to know about misalignment.
It is very important to take in account that all collected energy by sensor of
vibration permit us identify correct position of common shaft both of them; engine
and gas compressor, considering information in 1X and 2X orders.
After through an excel spreadsheet, you can graph data collection to see the profile
of misalignment. In the model arose you can consider the following condition to
have when the package is in functioning but with a forcing force inside of
crankshaft to rated speed, and this forcing force is presented with two face; angular
or parallel, and how a combination from both of them.
If both points, 1 and 2, are considered to turns around of coupling circle, you could
have a factor called angular velocity that depend of; mass, turning radio, to obtain
a value of force in each unit to english or international system. This unit can be
related by the expression: F=m.r.w, when you increase radio, then the force
increase proportionally. An example of this you can see in the following figure c;
The figure d; show us, how can be related both forces; primary and
secondary forces. In this case, primary force is opposite to secondary force, what
represent an arithmetic sum to both values considering their signs; positive and
negative.
What amplitude unit we can use to monitoring energy in main and connrod
bearings?
To measuring amplitude of vibrations in main and connrod bearings, you can use;
displacement: Mils P-P.
