  3. Describe the distinction between balance and vibration • Know the levels of balance quality • Know the levels of installed vibration • Understand the importance of an adequate foundation • Recognize symptoms and causes of problems • Know how to avoid vibration problems Learning Objectives

  4. Equipment Vibration Presented by Bill Howarth Hartzell Fan, Inc.

  5. ANSI / AMCA 204-96 • Balance Quality and Vibration Levels for Fans • Balance • Vibration

  6. BALANCE • Balance • Synonymous with Unbalance. A physical property results in centrifugal force being applied to the fan impeller. • Measured as the product of unbalance mass and distance from axis of rotation (oz-in).

  7. UNBALANCE • EXAMPLE: • ROTOR WEIGHT = 300 LBS • RADIAL SEPARATION OF CENTER OF MASS FROM AXIS OF ROTATION=0.0052 INCHES • UNBALANCE =300 LBS * 16 OZ/LB *0.0052 IN.=25 OZ-IN. Center of Mass Shaft Axis of Rotation Fan Impeller

  8. UNBALANCE A. Particulate builds up uniformly on the rotor. Sticky-wet particulate in gas stream Scrubber B. A piece of particulate flies off. Fan C. Center of mass shifts so that it no longer coincides with the axis of rotation.

  9. UNBALANCE Dead spot 250F at top of housing 250F Top of shaft = 188F Bottom of shaft = 187F 120F Fan wheel weight = 8500 lbs. Differential Expansion: (188 - 187) * (6.5E-6in/in-F) * (200 in) = 0.0013 in Shaft Bows Upward! 120F at bottom of housing  = Displacement from axis of rotation = 0.36” Then Unbalance = (8500)*(16)*() = 49,000 oz-in 200.0013  200.0000

  10. UNBALANCE Dust accumulation inside hollow airfoil blade. Rotation

  11. UNBALANCE Buildup of dust on the backside of backward curves blades. Rotation

  12. UNBALANCE Hub Shaft Setscrews initially hold hub tightly in position on the shaft. Setscrew tips are corroded or worn by fretting over time. This allows the hub and entire fan wheel to be displaced relative to the axis of rotation causing unbalance. Interference fit eliminates the possibility of the hub being displaced relative to the shaft in most systems.

  13. Conclusion: Initial interference fit should be in excess of 0.002 inches to allow for thermal expansion plus an allowance for hub expansion due to centrifugal force. Example: Shaft dia. = 3.9375 in. Hub average temp = 215 F Shaft average temp =80 F Then hub growth relative to shaft: (3.9375) * (80) * (6.5E-6) = 0.002 in. Fan impeller weight = 250 lbs.. (250 lbs. x 16 oz/lb. x 0.002 inches) Resulting unbalance = 8.0 oz-inches EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE CHANGE Fan impeller initially operating at 70 F. Process gas temperature increases rapidly. Weld Integral hub and shaft for very rapid temperature change applications. Fan impeller and hub heat up more quickly than the shaft.

  17. VIBRATION • Vibration • The alternating mechanical motion of an elastic system, components of which are amplitude, frequency and phase. • In general practice vibration values are reported as: • Displacement - mils • Velocity - inches/second • Acceleration - peak g’s

  18. VIBRATION VELOCITY 1780 RPM Uper = 12.72 oz-in Maximum Vibration (in free space) =2.5 mm/sec (or 0.10 in.sec)

  19. Small Diameter, Light Rotor Vibration Pickup Massive Bearing Housing High Stiffness Pedestal VIBRATION • Note that the bearing housing is considerably lower than the expected vibration of the rotor in free space.

  20. SLEEVE BEARING Proximity Probe measures shaft surface movement relative to the bearing housing. Shaft (rotating) Bearing Liner (static) Bearing Housing Oil Film supports shaft
