What could be the possible reasons for high vibration in liquid ring compressor process parameters are within the range so disturbance from process point of view eliminated

Hi,

Is it a new problem or from the start?  You should have mechanical issue with the equipment? bearings? lack of lubricant? very high temperature?...

Better to consult the vendor and probably good to read the operation and maintenance manuals.

To me not rocket science.

In our process unit water was a problem - salts deposited on blades and we had to scrab/replace impeller every several months.

More details = better comments

Problem is not new, vibration level sometimes within range and sometimes it is going high based on field observation we ask for inspection to check it (regular inspection schedule also indicated sometimes they record high and next reading will be within the range) but from last few days it is always remain higher side) primary all troubleshooting done not found any abnormalities from electrical drive and Blower also free rotation.

Hi,

Probably right time for overhaul!  Do you have a preventive maintenance plan in place? Do you regularly check and replace parts as per plan?

Did you talk to vendor? What kinds of control are done by your inspection team? Do they have the right tool to monitor the vibrations (amplitude and frequencies)?

Note: You may need to ask a 3rd. party to assist.
