COMPUTER SYSTEM AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR BALANCING ROTATING MACHINES

摘要

Method/system to control a rotating assembly balance control system with at least a first imbalance mass concentration for a rotating assembly having a problematic imbalance while rotating at an operational rotation frequency about a rotation axis. The method includes positioning the imbalance mass concentration around the rotation axis to a balanced rest angular position with the imbalance mass concentration rested at the balanced rest angular position with the rested first imbalance mass concentration at the balance rest angular position providing a counter acting imbalance mass concentration to counter the imbalance. The method includes monitoring at least a first rotating machinery performance health characteristic to diagnose a machine health problem and outputting a machine health problem signal when a machine health problem is diagnosed.
