Air-Cooled Chiller Machinery Vibration Analysis – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer expert machinery vibration analysis for air-cooled chillers, focusing on the performance and health of all rotating and mechanical components. Vibration is one of the most critical indicators of chiller system condition, and our advanced analysis helps identify issues such as imbalance, misalignment, bearing faults, and mechanical looseness before they result in equipment failure or costly repairs.

Why Machinery Vibration Analysis Is Essential

  • Detects mechanical faults early in critical components

  • Prevents unexpected breakdowns and production interruptions

  • Supports predictive maintenance to reduce long-term costs

  • Enhances system reliability, cooling performance, and energy efficiency

  • Extends the lifespan of compressors, motors, and fans

Key Machinery Components We Analyze

  • Compressors – rotor vibration, shaft alignment, mounting integrity

  • Fan assemblies – blade balance, motor vibration, and housing stability

  • Motors and couplings – misalignment, looseness, and harmonic resonance

  • Bearings – wear, fatigue, and lubrication issues

  • Chiller frames and mounts – structural resonance and vibration transmission

Our Machinery Vibration Analysis Process

Initial Inspection
We perform a full mechanical inspection of your chiller’s rotating and structural components to identify visible issues and prepare for sensor placement.

Sensor-Based Monitoring
Using high-precision triaxial accelerometers and velocity sensors, we gather vibration data from strategic points across the machine.

Data Analysis
We use tools like FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and envelope detection to identify:

  • Vibration frequencies linked to specific faults

  • Amplitude trends and severity levels

  • Root causes such as unbalance, misalignment, or bearing failure

Reporting and Action Plan
We provide a detailed, easy-to-understand report that includes:

  • Real vibration data and frequency spectrum graphs

  • Identified mechanical issues and affected components

  • Recommended corrective actions (e.g., rebalancing, alignment, replacement)

Benefits of Machinery Vibration Analysis

  • Improves chiller uptime and operational consistency

  • Reduces repair costs and emergency interventions

  • Enhances equipment efficiency and energy savings

  • Increases safety and compliance with HVAC standards

  • Supports data-driven, long-term maintenance planning
