Fluid and Vibration Monitoring
Ingersoll Rand
recommends incorporating predictive
maintenance, specifically the use of oil and vibration analysis,
into all Preventative Maintenance programs. Predictive
Maintenance is designed to increase system reliability and
prevent costly downtime. Through the use of sophisticated
diagnostic tools, including fluid, vibration, and optional air
analysis, IR Certified Service Technicians can identify and
correct potential problems BEFORE they can cause expensive
unscheduled downtime.
How does predictive analysis work? By establishing an initial
baseline for normal operation, and then regularly monitoring
fluid and vibration conditions, any sudden deviation or
significant increase from this baseline can be identified and
investigated to pinpoint the cause. More quickly diagnosing
potential problems can directly save money by preventing
costly failures and reducing or eliminating downtime. In
addition, regular condition monitoring also helps to maximize
the time between expensive preventative maintenance
intervals, such as component rebuilds and oil changes.
Oil Sampling Procedure
With unit at sump oil temperature of 130 − 140 °F, stop the
compressor. Wait 5 minutes, or sufficient time until oil in sight
glass becomes clear, and any entrained air bubbles in the oil
dissipate.
Remove oil fill cap from oil fill tube. Using oil sample pump
kit, install a new hose on the pump. Insert the hose into the
fill tube, and push the sample tube all the way to the bottom

of the oil sump. You will feel the hose hit the bottom of the
sump. Once the bottom is felt, pull the hose up about one
inch. This prevents a sample from gathering any sediment
that may be on the bottom of the sump. Extract the sample.
Remove the hose, remove the sample cup cap the cup, and
reinstall the oil cap. Label and process the sample.
