Account Overview

This account is a global steel company that produces millions of tons of steel annually through the operation of large-scale steel mills.


Challenge

The client was operating a steam turbine to supply power during the steel manufacturing process and had observed an increase in the turbine's vibration. They were in the process of analyzing the cause of this increased vibration.


In particular, during the overhaul, they inspected the journal bearing babbitt to check for any scratch marks. Their goal was to diagnose and take proactive measures to address potential risk factors before they could lead to failure


Project

If friction persists in the journal bearing, it could potentially lead to a serious accident, so this was detected early through guardione® turbo.



1. Vibration data at the time friction occurred was learned.


2. Driving factors and vibration data were analyzed domain-wise to estimate the location where friction occurred.


3. Potential risks were scored and actions that the operator could take were suggested.




Result

The solution verified the consistency of its diagnostic model by comparing the diagnosis results with the actual fault information revealed through the overhaul of the steam turbine where high vibration occurred. By performing this verification, the customer was able to secure sufficient time to effectively respond to potential risks and build trust in the entire turbo product.



1. Guardione® solution diagnosed the turbine vibration data given through a blind test as a rubbing phenomenon in a specific bearing caused by an increase in the amount of vibration due to the unbalanced phenomenon throughout the rotating body.


2. During the overhaul period at the site, the equipment was disassembled and inspected closely, and traces of rubbing were found on the journal bearing babbit.
