Air-cooled chiller bearing vibration analysis

Air-Cooled Chiller Bearing Vibration Analysis | Ensure System Reliability with EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd

Why Bearing Vibration Analysis Is Important

• Detects early bearing degradation before major failure occurs

• Identifies imbalance, misalignment, or lubrication issues

• Prevents equipment damage, unscheduled downtime, and high repair costs

• Supports predictive maintenance strategies

• Ensures smooth, energy-efficient chiller operation

Key Components Analyzed

• Compressor bearings

• Condenser fan motor bearings

• Support bearings within rotating assemblies

• Coupling interfaces between motors and compressors

Our Bearing Vibration Analysis Process

• Data Collection Using High-Sensitivity Sensors
  We install accelerometers and vibration sensors on key bearing points to measure real-time vibration data across multiple axes.

• Frequency Spectrum Analysis
  Using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform), we analyze the frequency and amplitude of vibration signatures to identify:

  • Bearing looseness or pitting

  • Unbalance or rotor misalignment

  • Resonance or structural vibration

  • Lubrication deficiencies or contamination

• Fault Pattern Identification
  We compare detected patterns against known fault frequencies for each bearing type and size, allowing accurate identification of specific bearing damage or failure modes.

• Reporting and Recommendations
  A detailed diagnostic report is provided, including:

  • Vibration levels and deviation from OEM standards

  • Detected faults and their severity

  • Recommended maintenance or bearing replacement timeline

Benefits of Bearing Vibration Analysis

• Prevents catastrophic bearing failure

• Improves chiller efficiency and energy performance

• Extends the lifespan of motors, compressors, and fans

• Reduces unexpected repair costs

• Enables planned maintenance with minimal downtime
