Residual Life Prediction System for Condition Based Maintenance of Rotating Equipment

Abstract

A residual life prediction system is developed for condition based maintenance of rotating equipment. Faults of the rotating equipment are mainly observed by the abnormal vibration signatures. By monitoring vibration of the equipment, deterioration inclination is estimated and an appropriate maintenance based on the equipment condition can be achieved. The deterioration prediction and the residual life prediction of the rotating equipment can be displayed by using the developed residual life prediction system.
