Rotating machinery dynamics, bearings, and seals: Symposium proceedings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6980497

This EPRI-sponsored symposium on the state-of-the-art power plant Rotating Machinery Dynamics, Bearings and Seals was held on September 9-11, 1986. Its principal purpose was to bring together electric utility engineers, manufacturers and engineering consultants to interact constructively on these pertinent interrelated power plant rotating machinery topics. Twenty-two papers, reprinted in this Proceedings, were presented at four half-day sessions organized under the following topics: Utility Experience with Machinery Vibrations; Reliability, Maintenance and Life Extension; Evaluation of Drive-line Interactions; and Improvements through Retrofits. In addition, a concluding fifth session consisted of three concurrently held discussion groups covering the following topics: Generator Vibration Problems; Bearings, Lubrication Systems and Retrofit Improvements; and Vibration Monitoring and Diagnostics. Summaries of these discussion group sessions are given in this Proceedings, along with tabulated results of a symposium attendee questionnaire, list of symposium attendees and the symposium agenda.
