Air-cooled chiller fan vibration assessment

Air-Cooled Chiller Fan Vibration Assessment | Optimize Performance with EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd

Why Fan Vibration Assessment Matters

Prevents mechanical damage to motors, blades, and housings

Enhances airflow efficiency and cooling performance

Reduces energy consumption and noise levels

Supports predictive maintenance and long-term reliability

Minimizes unplanned downtime and costly repairs

What We Assess

• Fan blade balance and condition

• Motor and shaft alignment

• Bearing integrity and mounting security

• Resonance or structural vibration in fan supports

• Vibration levels under varying load conditions

Our Fan Vibration Assessment Process

• Visual and Operational Inspection
  We start with a detailed inspection of the fan assembly, motor mountings, and blades to identify visible wear, damage, or misalignment.

• Sensor-Based Vibration Monitoring
  We install accelerometers and vibration sensors on the fan housing, motor, and base to measure frequency, amplitude, and direction of vibration.

• Dynamic Load Testing
  The fan is assessed under real operating conditions to detect load-related vibration anomalies, which are often missed during idle checks.

• Analysis and Fault Detection
  Using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and waveform analysis, we pinpoint issues such as:

  • Unbalanced fan blades

  • Worn bearings or motor couplings

  • Loose bolts or shifting mounts

  • Misaligned motor shafts

• Detailed Reporting and Recommendations
  We provide a full report including:

  • Vibration readings with severity levels

  • Diagnosed issues and potential failure risks

  • Actionable recommendations (balancing, realignment, part replacement)
