A List Of Defects And Malfunctions of Rotating Equipment
Which The Real-Time Diagnostic COMPACS® System Identifies In Rotating Equipment
Book a MeetingRotating Equipment Monitoring
The COMPACS® system detects most of the failures of rotating equipment. On the left side, there’s a list of defects detected in centrifugal machines. On the right, there’s a list of malfunctions in reciprocating compressors. Almost all often appearing defects can be detected as early as possible in a very reliable way. Physics-based artificial intelligence utilizes scientifically proven knowledge of degrading various nodes of different machines rather than poor and handmade statistics. Each defect or malfunction has its unique set of parameters that not only reliably detect the malfunction itself but also allow the determination of the stage of its degradation using specific thresholds. Thus, if the system identifies an informative feature in a vibration signal, the defect exists, and its stage of degradation has been determined.
