5. REPORT SUMMARY
Plant Nishat Dying
Location Unit-42
Equipment Turbo Generator 06 MW
Health Status Moderate
Explanation:
Machine vibration found within the acceptable limits as per ISO 10816-3
but orbit analysis are showing irregular shape
Please follow the report for detail analysis
6. OBSERVATIONS
Observed Internal loop in unfiltered orbit of both bearings
of Generator
Found .5X in X and Y spectra of Gen. bearing
7. ANALYSIS
In spectrum harmonics of 1 X turning speed of generator
is an indication of excessive clearance in the bearing
Dominant peak of 0.5 X in spectra of both bearings is
clear indication of internal rub.
Elliptical shape with inner loop of the orbit plots is an
indication of oil whirl because of instable lubrication film
b/w bearing and journal
8. RECOMMENDATIONS
Please inspect the both bearing of generator at priority
Replace the bearing if found excessive clearance / rub
Measure the vibration and check the vibration spectra once a
month at least, and conduct the oil and wear analysis on
monthly basis to monitor the bearing health
