Standards

Analysis & Recommendations:

1. The Fan Non-Drive End showed elevated vibration at the running speed components 1X
and 3X, levels were higher in the vertical direction compared to the horizontal direction,
and the Fan Drive End showed much lower vibration levels compared to FNDE.
2. Based on the data collected we concluded that unbalance was not the main cause of the
vibration, however, we performed balancing to reduce any amount of residual unbalance
so can we reduce the stress on the bearing and reduce the vibration levels as much as
possible.
3. Unbalance vibration value dropped from 5.1 mm/s rms to 1.1 mm/s rms. and overall
vibration dropped from 8.1 mm/s rms to 5.1 mm/s in the vertical direction.
4. It is recommended to check the FNDE bearing for fixation/assembly problems and to
check the Fan impeller assembly with the shaft.
