    Three identical pumps were relocated and experienced high vibration issues when put into a new service with an operating speed range of 3,560 to 6,000 RPM. Root cause analysis found the vibration was due to structural resonance of the pump and pedestals at around 5,100 RPM, as well as an overhung mode critical speed of the rotor at around 4,700 RPM due to a heavy coupling. Recommendations included adding bracing to the pedestals to increase their natural frequency away from resonance, as well as replacing the coupling with a lighter profiled one. These changes reduced vibrations and allowed the pumps to operate through their full speed range.

    Problem
    Vibration Performance
    High bearing housing and casing vibrations showed after
    the pumps were relocated and put into a new service
    (Ran fine in previous life)
    Same problem with 3 identical units
    Horizontal vibration (~0.6 in/sec) at or above 5200 RPM
    Not able to reach full speed (6000 RPM)

    Root Cause Analysis

    Structural Resonance Impact Testing
    Impact tests show a horizontal
    structural resonance at
    approximately 85 Hz (5100 cpm) on
    pump inboard and outboard end
    5
    Root Cause Analysis
    Pump Lateral Rotordynamics
    High speed operation. (6000 RPM)
    Heavy coupling. (~100 lbs total)
    Long shaft span at drive end.
    Nearest seal is eye of suction impeller.
    6
    Root Cause Analysis
    Overhung mode critical speed
    (~4700 RPM)
    Low damping
    Large coupling orbit
    7
    Root Cause Analysis
    Replace coupling
    Lateral stability improved
    Recommendations
    8
    Root Cause Analysis
    Not every seam welded
    Uncertain hold-down locations
    Support Structure Modal FEA
    9
    Root Cause Analysis
    Horizontal pump mode
    84Hz [5040 cpm]
    Mode shape offers
    clues to detuning
    Support Structure Modal FEA
    10
    Root Cause Analysis
    Add gussets / struts
    Box the pedestals
    Predicts increase in
    natural frequency
    136 Hz [8160 cpm]
    Recommendations
    11
    Implementation
    Bracing added to all four pedestals (as piping allowed)
    12
    Implementation
    Drive-end pedestals also
    'Boxed' to reduce twisting
    13
    Implementation
    Coupling Changes
    Original 48 lbs (pump-side)
    Profiled 36 lbs (pump-side)
    Field Balanced
    Entirely new
    13 lbs (pump-side)
    14
    Results
    Reduced Vibration
    Original 0.60 in/sec @ 5200 RPM
    Added Struts 0.28 in/sec @ 5800 RPM
    Changed Coupling 0.19 in/sec @ 6100 RPM
    Ability to run through entire operating
    speed range
    15
    Lessons Learned
    Avoid unnecessarily heavy couplings.
    Open communication facilitates root
    cause analysis.
    Fix problems when found, as found.
    Relocating equipment and/or changing
    services including speed range can
    result in vibration issues.
