Analysis of the vibration behaviour of a gas turbine during operation

The vibratory behaviour of the gas turbine during operation is analysed in this article. The modern method consists of studying the state of a machine during its operation, to intervene only when the parameters allow it. However, experience has shown that vibration analysis is the most widely used technique to make a reliable diagnosis and to detect the appearance and evolution of most mechanical and hydraulic defects. In our study, we applied the method of vibration analysis of the gas turbine line using monitoring methods to diagnose mechanical defects in shaft bearings. In this sense, the experimental was carried out by measuring and monitoring the level of vibration produced by the turbine, an indicator on its condition was obtained. Should the rise in vibration levels of the machine facilitate the identification of a fault, the subsequent analysis of the machine's vibration characteristics will enable the source of the fault to be determined. It is then possible to determine with accuracy the time before the situation becomes critical.
