Centrifuge vibration
Thread Content
Does a change in the oil temperature of a centrifugal compressor between 40-50 degrees have an impact on vibration? Our machine vibrates a lot; the manager says it’s related to the oil temperature. Please advise, experts
What is the vibration level? What type of oil is being used, and what is its grade? What is the rotational speed?
The leader said to let him handle it if it’s related to that!
Where is the leadership making unfounded claims? The problem analysis needs to be based on facts
A vibration analysis can be conducted to determine the cause of the vibrations. Trying to control the vibrations by changing the oil temperature only results in the vibrations becoming more severe
Oil temperature has a certain impact on the vibration of centrifuges, as it affects the stiffness of the oil film in the sliding bearings. I’ve heard of cases where adjusting the oil temperature helped reduce the vibration of the equipment, but I have not experienced it myself. It is sufficient to keep the oil temperature within its specified range.
Hello! Oil temperature plays a certain role in the vibration of the housing! Based on my work experience, the oil temperature affects the viscosity of the oil, as well as the thickness of the oil film and the friction factors, within a certain range! It will cause a certain deviation in the previous motor alignment. The factor of oil temperature influence is not excluded. The occurrence of vibration triggers a series of reactions involving many aspects. Ultimately, it is the vibration analysis data that matters. . But sometimes, the vibration analysis data I have doesn’t match the actual situation; P
It is normal for the oil temperature of the centrifuge to be around 45 degrees in this kind of weather; it has little impact on vibration. The main factors involved are the quality of the oil, the bearings, as well as the carbon ring seals and sealing gas. You can ask the manufacturer to conduct a spectrum analysis to take a look
Within this oil temperature range, the impact on vibration is minimal; if the vibration becomes severe, other issues need to be considered
