Excessive vibration - problem solution

Vibration can have huge effects on the balancing and efficiency of vehicles and machinery. Over time excessive vibrations can even lead to damage to your vehicle or machinery, resulting in expensive replacement or repair costs. A huge variety of machinery is at risk from long term vibration damage including high speed tooling machines, generators, compressors, fans and electric motors. All kinds of vehicles are also at risk, especially high speed vehicles, where mechanical failure can result in catastrophic injuries. The balancing is highly essential, especially in high speed applications such as electric motors, generators, turbines, pumps, aircraft etc.

Resolution Steps 

The vessel precharge pressure should be adjusted before the pump is filled with water. If the system has already been filled and the pump run, then:

  1. Switch off the pump.
  2. Close both inlet and outlet isolating valves.
  3. The water pressure in the vessel can then be released using the drain beneath the pressure vessel.
