“…Over time, improper installation, manufacturing defects, waste accumulation, and the gradual degradation of machines can lead to rotor eccentricity. This eccentricity adversely impacts their performance, causing high noise and vibration levels, elevated losses, and the risk of overheating (Chapagain & Silwal, 2023), (Yu-Ling et al, 2023).…”

In the modern industry, computer modeling and simulation tools have become fundamental to estimating the behavior of rotodynamic systems. These computational tools allow analyzing possible modifications as well as alternative solutions to changes in design, with the aim of improving performance. Nowadays, rotodynamic systems, present in various industrial applications, require greater efficiency and reliability. Although there are deep learning methodologies for monitoring and diagnosing failures which improve these standards, the main challenge is the lack of databases for learning, a problem that can be addressed through experimental monitoring and computer analysis. This work analyzes the vibrations of two induced-draft fans with excess vibration in a thermoelectric plant in Mexico. A vibration analysis was carried out through the instrumentation and monitoring of accelerometers located at crucial points in the fans. The results of this experimental analysis were validated by computer simulation based on FEM. The results show that the operating speed of the induced-draft fans is very close to their natural frequency, causing considerable stress and potential failures due to excessive vibration. Finally, this work presents a practical solution to modify the natural frequency of induced-draft fans, so that they can function correctly at the required operating speed, thus mitigating excessive vibration issues.
