TOPIC:
Case Study - High Speed Centrifugal Compressor Bearing Failure
-
As a Cat4 vibration expert with over 27 years of experience working with predictive technologies, Daniel brings years of experience to the RATS Technical Sessions.
DESCRIPTION:
Abstract:
In this study, we’ll investigate an incipient bearing failure in the gearbox of a 2000 HP centrifugal gas compressor operating at a speed of 25,000 RPM. The failure was detected through various predictive analyses, which provided substantial evidence justifying the need for inspection and repair of the compressor’s gearbox. Our goal is to minimize production impact while keeping maintenance costs low.
Methods:
To identify the incipient bearing failure, we employed several predictive techniques, including vibration analysis and oil analysis. These methods allowed us to monitor the health of the bearings and detect early signs of deterioration.
