Root Cause Analysis of vibrations in a Roots Blower system
Abstract
Problems: •A roots blower system is suffering from excessive vibrations
•A temporary work-around enabled the operation of the plant, at a large expense of additional power consumption
•The fundamental mechanism of the observed vibrations was insufficiently clear, and there was an urgent need for an effective solution strategy
