Diagnostics and Condition Assessment: Foresight for Uninterrupted Production
DENV-AIR Kft.’s believes in proactive maintenance. The most critical component of industrial compressed air systems, the compressor unit, inevitably wears out over time, but failures can be prevented with precise diagnostics.
Our goal is to ensure you know exactly when critical replacement is due, preventing unexpected failures that lead to costly production downtime.
The Role of Bearing Vibration Diagnostics
Bearings in compressor blocks will eventually wear out. While manufacturers typically recommend bearing replacement after 20,000 operating hours, it is not uncommon for our compressors to have compressor blocks that perform for 40,000 operating hours or more. The operating life can be extended, but the time for replacement must be predicted in advance.
Benefits of Diagnostics
-
Accurate Prognosis: Our specialist regularly conducts measurements and continuously evaluates the data based on these findings.
-
Risk Reduction: Based on the characteristic vibration values of the bearings, it indicates their degree of wear and the timing for necessary replacements. This allows many major faults to be detected in time.
-
Efficient Operating Time: The bearing replacement interval can be extended significantly.
-
Special Alert: For machines operating under poor conditions, it is advisable to start measurements after 15,000 hours, as bearing life may be reduced.
The Diagnostic Process
Our Bearing Vibration Diagnostic Specialist performs on-site measurements on the machines at specified intervals. A report is prepared for these measurements, detailing the bearing locations and the corresponding measurement values. Important: when overhauling the compressor block, it is advisable to also service the electric motor bearings.
