Pump Alignment - Thermal Growth / Dynamic Movements

Fixturlaser OL2R - Offline to Online Running Application for express measurements of Dynamic Movements

If your process operates within large temperature differences or other conditions that affecting pumps, you might have a need to measure the dynamic movements. This is indicated by a high level of vibrations, persisting even after having performed alignment in cold condition. After measuring the dynamic movements in cold as well as in hot condition, the calculations are made and the target values are obtained.

Fixturlaser OL2R (Off-line-to-Running) is the perfect tool for measuring movements due to e.g. Thermal Growth, Process Forces, Background Vibration Levels, etc. The Fixturlaser XA is the only system on the market that includes this application.

OL2R, an accessory for the Fixturlaser XA Shaft Alignment System, makes it possible to receive the exact compensation data required for a precise alignment of pumps by making it possible to measure in both hot and cold conditions.

Fixturlaser OL2R (off-line-to-running) fixtures combined with the Fixturlaser XA alignment system puts a stop to guesswork in measurement and alignment. With OL2R, changes in machinery alignment are mirrored by changes in position of the OL2R brackets. By simply measuring and documenting the initial position of the brackets, the actual changes in the alignment can be measured as alignment positions change.

Factors affecting Dynamic Movements:

• Thermal growth
• Pipe strain
• Movements in foundations
• Surrounding machines and processes
• Air pressure, pressure in liquids, etc.
• Sun light, wind and other environmental factors
• Cooling systems (fans, oil cooling, etc.)

Measurements:

• Measurement of machine position in operating and cold condition
• Gives you the real compensation values in a fast, easy and precise way
• Calculates the correct offset and angularity values to be used during the shaft alignment

Features:

• The XA: OL2R system makes it possible to calculate exact and precise offset values for a specific machine

Benefits:

• Reduced vibration levels
• High availability
• Trouble free operation
• Faster installation
• Minimised downtime
• Reduced energy consumption
• Reduced maintenance cost
• Documentation of installations and reconstructions
