Solutions for pipeline vibration
Thread Content
The first-stage outlet pipe of the air compressor is connected to the gas cooler; what could be the reason for the excessive vibration? Do experts have any solutions? Waiting online.
Handling suggestions: 1. Please have the piping and structural engineering teams from the design institute check whether the construction was carried out in accordance with the design； 2. Please have the piping and structural engineering teams of the design institute check whether improvements are needed in the design ； 3. Check whether the pipe clamps are lined with shock-absorbing materials such as asbestos boards ； Is the pipe clamp securely fastened?
No issues were found during the on-site inspection: 1. No stress was detected in the pipes; 2. There were no misalignments in the pipes; 3. Adjustable supports are available beneath the gas cooler
If it is the vibration of the machine itself, add a section of flexible metal hose.
Please design to determine whether the inter-stage buffer tank is too small.
A flexible connection is added in the middle; its length should be determined based on the pipe diameter, and it is generally recommended that this length be no less than twice the pipe diameter, thereby eliminating pipe vibrations
At present, the inter-stage piping is made of flexible connections, and the gas cooler is supported by springs
Adding flexible connections cannot eliminate the effects of equipment vibration
Isn’t it the pipe vibration that needs to be addressed? Equipment vibration is another matter; the vibrations need to be eliminated by considering the rigidity of the foundation and the dynamic balance of the equipment
