Detecting, Diagnosing And Correcting For Compressor Surge At A Petrochemical Plant
Application Note Detecting, diagnosing and correcting for compressor surge at a petrochemical plant Vibration analysis is a valuable tool for fault diagnosis and root cause analysis. This case story demonstrates how a newly purchased Vibroport 41 was used to analyze structural resonance and surge vibrations that previously had resulted in frequent impeller cracks and premature bearing failure of the compressor. The underlying cause of the s
