The torsional modal response of geared compression trains driven by Variable Speed Drive Systems (VSDS) can be heavily affected by electro-mechanical interaction phenomena, both in terms of excitation mechanism and resulting ...

When unbalance induced vibrations exceed allowable limits, a more accurate system balance is required. If performed at site on assembled machines, it is commonly called field balance. Key point of the activity is the ...

This case study deals with a 24MW turbo-compressor unit composed of a gas turbine, a speed reduction gearbox with a lube oil pump mounted on its low speed shaft and two compressors in series. The unit was subject to high ...

This group will discuss plant machinery vibration detection, monitoring, and diagnosis, from a Plant O&M point-of-view. All attendees will be encouraged (but not required) to participate in discussions, and contribute ...
