How to align the shaft bearing housing after removal and reinstallation in a centrifugal compressor
I don’t quite understand what you mean. Just perform normal alignment – could you explain in more detail what the situation is?
It’s about aligning the three gauges: two axial and one radial
It’s three-table alignment, or a laser aligner.
It generally refers to inspecting the bearing without replacing the bearing shells; there are hardly any changes in such cases. If the bearing shells need to be replaced, it is necessary to find new ones again, and then adjust the shims behind the bearing shells or backing plates using a dial indicator
The sliding bearing shells are removed, lapped, and reinstalled. Align it after the unit is properly installed.
He might be referring to the coaxiality of the two radial bearings, not the coupling.

What he means is that after the bearing shells are disassembled and reinstalled, there might be a change in their elevation level. How can one correct this alignment? I would appreciate guidance from experienced professionals
Just align it properly; if the tiles aren’t replaced, the deviation won’t be too large
