PeakVue Plus – Bearing Friction In this the third of three videos on PeakVue, James Sylvester shows that when the Emerson AMS 2140 is setup correctly, PeakVue Plus can detect issues with lubrication health, in this case, the bearing friction was off the scale! The asset in question is a critical plant fan on a […]
PeakVue Introduction – Part II In this the second of three videos on PeakVue, James Sylvester shows that when the Emerson AMS 2140 is setup correctly, PeakVue can pick up sub surface Hertzian cracks. In this example, James refers to a 110KW Motor on a variable speed drive for a plant critical pump. Outer Race […]
What are common types of Misalignment? 30-second summary Common misalignments are usual and can happen to machines in a variety of ways. Left alone misalignment can reduce the longevity of bearings, shafts, seals, and even couplings. Misalignment is the root cause of most machine breakdowns: bearing failures, and damaged seals, shafts, and couplings. It is […]
What is machine vibration? 30-Second Summary Wear and tear, Unbalance, looseness and misalignment are the most commonly found vibration issues in machines. Precision balancing and alignment practices will help minimise forces acting on a machine’s bearings and shaft seals, thereby resulting in improved reliability of these key component parts Timely detection of vibration can help […]
How can thermal imaging help diagnose faults? 30-Second Summary An infrared camera is one of the most primitive yet trusted methods for identifying an electrical connection or component problem. Misalignment, steam/water leaks, bent shafts, and moisture are some of the issues that can be detected using thermographic analysis. You can learn more about thermographic analysis […]
What is vibration analysis in maintenance? 30-Second Summary Vibration Analysis calculations allow you to detect early signs of machine failure/deterioration. A trained vibration analyst can easily understand the basics of vibration analysis as well as the failure modes of the equipment. Predictive maintenance helps in preplanning all maintenance tasks as well as any unavoidable downtime. […]
PeakVue Introduction – Part I Here is a the first example from James Sylvester of how visually helpful the new Emerson 2140 PeakVue Plus is while working on site.
Flue Gas Recycle Fan: Introduction The Flue Gas Recycle Fan is part of the COGA unit. The fan increases the efficiency of the COGA unit by recycling a proportion of the incinerated gases from the COGA stack. The fan is critical in sustaining high rates of operation on the plant, catastrophic failure of this fan […]
