WARNING
Extreme vibrations of the fan!
Damage to the fan and additional components of the power
train, formation of cracks on the fan and on the installation
site (e.g. foundation), loosening of fastenings, increase of
noise.
→ Ensure continuous monitoring of the fan condition.
→ Check functional efficiency of the monitoring devices.
→ Shut down the fan if the limit values are exceeded.
Refer to chapter 8.9.
→ Rectify the faults. Refer to chapter 11.
→ Check the fastenings and retighten the screws with the
prescribed tightening torque. Refer to chapter 7.3.2.
Fan without permanently installed monitoring devices:
If the fan is not equipped with monitoring devices,
measurements of the following must be performed at least
once per week using suitable measuring equipment:
- Vibrations of the bearings
- Temperatures of the bearings
Depending on respective utilisation of the fan, the following
additional parameters must also be measured at least once
per week:
- Impeller speed
- Motor speed
- Condition of bearings
- Oil level in bearings
- Temperature of handled gas
NOTICE!
These weekly measurements must be documented in
order that any deviations from the normal condition
can be duly ascertained. Prompt rectification of faults
will prevent the occurrence of damage to fan
components and will guarantee prolonged life-
expectancy of the fan. Create a file for the fan in
which all performed measurements are recorded. A
master template can be obtained in chapter 19.1
Inspections in accordance with the checklist.
