PhD Vibration Analysis
The Frick™ Enhanced Analog board has the built-in
capability to directly receive signals from vibration
accelerometers and motor stator RTDs (100 platinum)
which are mounted on compressor housing and/or the
motor/shaft. The purpose of these devices is to monitor
compressor motor/shaft vibration and/or motor
temperature.
Accelerometers transmit continuous signals to the analog
board. The Quantum™ LX software monitors these
signals, and can detect any variations in the frequency of
the vibration. The vibrations increase over time,
predefined setpoint limits will be exceeded, and a warning
will be generated from the Quantum™ to the display
screen, warning the operator of the condition. If the alarm
is not addressed, a shutdown will occur to prevent
damage to the compressor. Likewise, if RTDs are used for
bearings, they will measure the temperature of the motor
stator, which will increase (due to the failing bearings
causing increased friction).
Refer to the drawing at the bottom of this page for the
wiring connections of the different possible configurations.
Additional information on PhD vibration monitoring and
theory, may be found in the PhD Vibration Monitoring
System manual (E70-020 TB).
