Air-Cooled Chiller Rotating Equipment Vibration Monitoring – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer precise and proactive vibration monitoring services for rotating equipment in air-cooled chillers, including fans, compressors, and motors. Rotating components are particularly vulnerable to issues such as imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, and resonance, all of which can lead to mechanical failure, energy inefficiency, and system downtime if not detected early.

Why Monitor Rotating Equipment Vibration?

• Identifies early-stage mechanical wear or misalignment

• Prevents breakdowns and unplanned maintenance

• Supports predictive maintenance and reliability strategies

• Reduces vibration-induced energy loss and improves performance

• Extends the lifespan of critical components

Key Components Monitored

• Compressor rotors and drive shafts

• Fan motors and blades

• Electric motor bearings and housings

• Couplings and pulleys

• Mounted rotating parts and assemblies

Our Vibration Monitoring Process

Sensor Installation
We deploy triaxial accelerometers and vibration sensors on critical rotating components to capture accurate real-time data across all three axes.

Data Collection & Analysis
Using tools like FFT (Fast Fourier Transform), envelope detection, and order tracking, we analyze vibration signals to detect:

• Rotor or blade imbalance

• Shaft misalignment

• Bearing defects

• Looseness or structural resonance

• Harmonic or electrical motor disturbances

Trend Monitoring (Optional)
We provide long-term tracking to observe how vibration patterns evolve over time—enabling predictive maintenance and reducing emergency repairs.

Reporting and Recommendations
Our final report includes:

• Vibration severity levels compared to standard thresholds

• Identified issues and root causes

• Recommended actions such as rebalancing, bearing replacement, or alignment correction

Benefits of Monitoring Rotating Equipment Vibration

• Detects problems before performance degrades

• Improves chiller system efficiency and reliability

• Reduces repair costs and energy consumption

• Minimizes noise and operational disruptions

• Supports safe, continuous operation of HVAC systems
