Proper installation and functionality of a rotating machinery protection and monitoring system is essential for accurate diagnosis of machinery related malfunctions. For some gas turbine driven generator units, some monitoring system components can be internal to the machine and somewhat inaccessible. Monitoring system component problems and failures can result in obvious symptoms; however in a few instances these symptoms can be subtle and lead to a false or inappropriate malfunction diagnosis. These false diagnoses can result in unnecessary corrective actions in instances that required only simple “fixes”. Proper installation and functionality of a rotating machinery protection and monitoring system is essential for accurate diagnosis of machinery related malfunctions. For some gas turbine driven generator units, some monitoring system components can be internal to the machine and somewhat inaccessible. Monitoring system component problems and failures can result in obvious symptoms; however in a few instances these symptoms can be subtle and lead to a false or inappropriate malfunction diagnosis. These false diagnoses can result in unnecessary corrective actions in instances that required only simple “fixes”. This paper will discuss a recent case history involving chronic excessive vibration alarms and trips at a customer’s facility. Acquired vibration readings will be discussed. These measurements will illustrate the effects of subtle monitoring system component issues on machinery vibration levels leading to a potentially false diagnosis. Proper interpretation resulted in a correct diagnosis, thus avoiding unnecessary corrective actions.

The vibration can influence the running of devices in the engine room. It is necessary to monitor the vibration state of all running machineries. Through integrating the Bluetooth technology into the common vibration sensor, a wireless on-line vibration monitoring system is designed to monitor all devices. It will be helpful to avoid severe failure and improve the cruising ability.

Though piping is one of the largest and most expensive types of components in a plant, piping vibration is seldom monitored in a routine manner. Piping itself rarely fails due to vibration, but the same can not be said for related components such as supports, welds, valves, etc. Typically the only time piping vibration is monitored is if high vibration is perceived by operators or is expected due to plant operational changes such as uprates or major component replacements. The procedure for a comprehensive piping vibration monitoring program is thus not as widely known as that for other components such as rotating machinery. This paper presents the steps involved with monitoring piping vibration, obtaining meaningful data and ways to interpret the data. It could be viewed as a primer to those who have never been involved with vibration testing on piping, or as a guideline and checklist for those who have.

A technique for measuring turbine engine rotor blade vibrations has been developed as an alternative to conventional strain-gage measurement systems. Light probes are mounted on the periphery of the engine rotor casing to sense the precise blade passing times of each blade in the row. The timing data are processed on-line to identify (1) individual blade vibration amplitudes and frequencies, (2) interblade phases, (3) system modal definitions, and (4) blade static deflection. This technique has been effectively applied to both turbine engine rotors and plant rotating machinery.

Mechanical vibration analysis is an important index to measure the running state of the electromechanical equipment. The vibration signals contain the information about the equipment running state. This paper studies and designs the vibration monitoring system based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Through the finite element analysis simulation, optimizes the sensor's structure, and uses the labview software to compile the corresponding vibration monitoring analysis software. Finally verifies the detection effect of the monitoring system, through the pulse signal and continuous signal dynamic experimental analysis. The result of the experimental analysis shows: this vibration monitoring system can monitor the vibration information and analyze vibration state effectively. It has the advantages of reducing the temperature interference and lateral disturbance, and detects the vibration of three direction at the same time. So it is feasible to monitor the electromechanical equipment.
