Are You Using Vibration Analysis?
The value of chillers and mechanical equipment to a building is significant and maintaining those machines is important to ensuring their proper life expectancy. Vibration analysis coupled with your already existing preventative maintenance plan is the way to doing that.
Vibration analysis allows internal looks into a buildings pumps, compressors, cooling towers, chillers and gearboxes. Through computer readings, baselines are established and changes can be determined to prevent unforeseen failures. DebonAir mechanical has the properly trained personnel and tools to complete a thorough vibration analysis program for applicable locations.
A qualified DebonAir representative will visit the site and go through everything necessary to properly read the machines current internal state. Using a specialized computer the representative will take readings of the machines. Readings on machines will be done under load to reflect accurate internal movements and stress loads. Taking the readings at any other time does not thoroughly reflect accurate measures and can give inaccurate information.
These initial readings will be a benchmark for trending future readings and determining if any changes have occurred internally. If changes have occurred and continue to worsen, action plans can be put into place to repair the problem.
Putting a vibration analysis in place has many benefits and is a great addition to any maintenance plan.
Benefits of adding Vibration Analysis:
• Predicting current and future mechanical failures
• No tenant dissatisfaction due to unforeseen mechanical failures
• Ability to schedule machine overhauls
• Reduced maintenance and repair costs
• Helps prevent unforeseen downtime due to mechanical failures
• Savings on unnecessary overhauls
