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.
