Electro-pump Fault Diagnosis of Marine Ship by Vibration Condition Monitoring

The objective of this research is to investigate the correlation between vibration analysis and fault diagnosis. This was achieved by vibration analysis of an electro-pump of marine ship. The vibration analysis was initially run under regular interval during electro-pump life. Some series of tests were then conducted under the operating hours of stone crasher. Vibration data was regularly collected. The overall vibration data produced by vibration analysis was compared with previous data, in order to quantify the effectiveness of the results of vibration condition monitoring technique. Numerical data produced by vibration analysis were compared with vibration spectra in standard condition of healthy machine, in order to quantify the effectiveness of the vibration condition monitoring technique. The results of this paper have given more understanding on the dependent roles of vibration analysis in predicting and diagnosing machine faults.
