Prevents Syltherm Pump Damage using Shoreline AI

Shoreline Helps Diagnose Pump Overheating

Observations

Pump Motor
  • Step change observed on Mar 29, 2024 in TVE trend from 0.1 Ips to 0.2 Ips only in Motor NDE
  • Increase in 1x Vibration in all direction and dominant in vertical
  • No changes noticed on Pump and Motor DE side that indicated no process upsets
  • Excess vibration critical alarm observed on Shoreline cloud portal

Real-Time Monitoring of assets by shoreline AI

Alarm raised on Shoreline APM Platform

Shoreline APM platform raised an alarm (shown here on the right) recommending an urgent inspection and PM action for the asset.

Supporting Data

Trend data shows step change in vibration from Mar 9, 2024 that dropped after repair on Mar 20, 2024

Evidence Of Success

Step change in 1x vibration at Motor NDE in all directions comparatively high in vertical direction. By looking at other measuring points ruled out the major faults like process condition ,misalignment, bearing issues and other low frequency faults. The faults applicable were are looseness and unbalance

Spectrum charts below indicate the before and after repairs by the Customer significant drop in 1x vibration.

Conclusion:

Timely action based on alarm raised by Shoreline APM platform resulted in reduction of vibration thereby preventing further damage to the machine bearings and other parts.
