Introduction
Vibrationproblemsarecommoninhydraulicmachinery.Solvingthemhelpstoincreasethemachinelifeandtoreducemaintenancecosts.
Manycaseshavebeenfoundandsolvedduringlastyearsofmonitoring(Egusquiza1998andEgusquizaet.2000).Someofthemhavebeenduetodesignormountingproblemsandothersduetodamageinmachineelements.Thecasespresentedherecorrespondtolargemachinewithverticalshaftandrigidcoupling.Theproblemsfoundhavebeenclassifiedinthefollowingtypes:

Finally,remediestotheprobiemareproposedandtheirsuccessisconfirmedcomparingthevibrationsafterthemodificationwiththepreviousones.
Type1:
ExcessiveHydraulicExcitation.
Typicalvibrationsofhydraulicoriginaregeneratedbyrotor-statorinteraction(RSI)andbycacitation.
RSIisduetotheinterferencebetweentherunnerbladesandguidevanes.Itcangeneratepressurepulsationsofhighamplitudeinhydraulicmachines.Asaresult,cracksinrunnersandexcessivevibrationlevelsinmachineandpipingcanbeproduced.RSIidentificationisnormallyeasywithspectralanalysisofvibration.Theproblemistoknowifthevibrationishighduetotheexcitationitself,toahighhydraulicsystemishighduetotheexcitationresonseortoarunner/motorresonance.Thevibrationwillbeatafrequencyfbgivenby:

Anothertypicalphenomenonthatcangeneratevibrationsiscavitation.Cavitationcantakeseveralformsandcanresultinvibrations,lossesofperformanceanderosion.Themostcommontypeofcavitationispartloadsuige.Itsnegativeeffectsareusuallymitigatedbymeansofairentrapmentindrafttube.Ontheotherhand,inletcacitationprovokingerosionofrunnerbladesisalsoaconcernduetoitsdestructiveeffects.
Heretherearesomeexamplesforbothtypesofhydraulicexcitations.
Highvibrationsinthecasingofamultistagepump
Amultistagepumphadhighvibrationlevelsinthecasingduringoperation.Thegeneratedvibrationsproducedtheburstofpipesandotherelements.Initially,itwasthoughtthatthevibrationswereduetowearordamage(malfunctioning).Asaresult,thepumpwascompletelydismantledandrepaird.Surprisingly,thevibrationdidnotdisappear.
Ageneralschemeofthepumpisgiveninfig,2.Duringpumpingthemachinedeliversaflowrateof2.8m3/stoaheadof935m.OthermachinecharacteristicsarelistedinTable1.
Tounderstandthecauseofthehighvibertionlevelssomeexperimentalmeasurementsandatheoreticalanalysiswerecarriedout.
Fromthespectralanalysisitwasfoundthatthevibrationamplitudeoccurredat150Hzwhichisfb(seeFig,5).therefore,thevibrationhasafluiddynamicoriginanditshighamplitudemightbeduetoseveralreasonssuchashighRSIexcitationduetodesign,mounting,damage,orresonance.Inthiscase,theRSIanalysisgivesapressurepulsationaroundtheimpellerwithadiametricalmodek=-2rotatingintheoppositedirectionoftheimpellerstfb.
Firstofall,thehydraulicsystemresponseofthereturnchannelwascalculatedusingatransfermatrixmethod.Nofrequenciesaround150Hzwerefound.Furthermore,theanalysisofthemeasurements(phaseandamplitudevariation)atdifferentroatingspeedsneithershowedresonancearoundtheexcitationfrequency.
Modalanalysisfromtheimpactsdonewithaninsteumentedhammerwascarriedouttocheckthepossibilityofmechuanicalresonanceinthecasingorimpeller.
Forthecasing,noresonancewasfoundataroundthefrequencyof150HzasitcanbeseeninFig,3.AtheoreticalanalysiswithFEMgavesimilarresults.
ThefrequencyresponsefunctionsobtainedfromimpactsintheimpellerareindicatedinFig,4.Theyshowthepresenceofamodeat472Hz.Thismodewassusceptibleofexcitationbecauseitcorrespondedtodiametricalmode2.Estimatingareductionfactorof0.45to0.5inordertoconsidertheaddedmassandthecasingboundary,theactualnaturalfrequencywouldliebetween212and236Hz.So,therewasalowprobabilityofresonance.Infact,nohighvibrationlevelswerepresentatthebearings.
Finally,analyzingthephasingofthepressurepulsationandvibrationinthecasing,thediagnosiswasthatthehighvibrationswerecausedbytheinteractionofthepressurepulsationinsidethemachine.

Afteranalyzingthesystemresponse,checkingthenaturalfrequenciesofrunnerandrotor,itwasfoundthatarotornaturalfrequencywaswasclosetotheexcitationfrequency.Asthesystemcouldnotbechangedphysically,thesolutionoftheproblemwasdevisedasmodifyingtherunnerlacationwherecracksappearedtoreducestressesonblades.

Inthiscasetwoproblemshadbeendetected.Thefirstonewasexcessivevibrationlevelsinthedrafttube.Thesecondonewasadvancederosiononthesuctionsideoftheblades.
InFig,7overallvibrationlevelsmeasuredfortheentirerangeofpoweroutputsindicatethatamplitudesaremoreimportantduringoperationatpartialloads.IntheFig,8,spectralanalysisofshaftdisplacementusingproximityprobescanbeobservedat20and55MW.Whenoperatingat20MW,afrequencypeakat0.27*ffpredominatesbutdisappearsat55MW.Thisanalysisindicatedthepresenceofahubropeinthedrafttubeatpartialloads.
Spectralanalysisisenoughtodetectpartialloadsurgebutitisnotusefulforothertypesofcavitation.Thisisthecaseoferosivecavitationisespeciallydestructive.
Anothertechniquetobeusedistodemodulatehighfrequencyvibrations.InFig,9,thespectraoftheenvelopeinthefrequencybandform30kto40kHzareplotted.Again,at20MWthepresenceofthepartloadsurgeiswelldetectedinthetopoftheFig.
So,thepossibleremediessuchasoptimizationofairinjectionfinsarecurrentlybeinganalyzed.Meanwhile,ithasbeenrecommendedtoavoidoperationatloadsbelow35MW.
Forthedetectionoferosivecavitationhighfrequencyvibrationsalsohadtobemeasured(Escaleretal.2002).Amplitudedemodulationofhighfrequencybands,showninthebottomofFig,9,indicatedthepresenceofapulsatingcavityintherunneratfvat55MW.Themaximumamplitudeofthispeakwasfoundat60MW,thusindicatingthemaximumcavitationaggressiveness.Therefore,thesolutionconsistedinlimitingthetimeofoperationaround60MWwheneverpossible.Arefurbishingoftherunner(newhydrodynamicdesign)isexpectedtobethesolutioninthiscase.
Type2:

Atsteadyoperation,spectralanalysishelpstoidentifypotentialproblemsbylookingatthepadpassingfrequency.Forinstance,inFig,10,thisfrequencydisappearsfromthevibrationsignatureafterrepairingthebearing.Althoughdetectioniseasy,toquantifythelevelofthedamageisdiff
