out the ferrous wear debris magnetically. In this method, the larger particles are accumulated at the entry point while the smaller ones at the later part of a tube. A light is passed through this tube which itself passes through magnet. Light is received by a Photo-electric transducer. The light density of the outcoming light decides the strength of particles present in the oil. Normal wear gives more number of smaller particles but a severe one will have greater count of larger particles.

This case study is related to one of the two pumps that supply lube and control oil to a high speed, turbine driven compressor, which is a crucial machine to the running of a continuous process, petro-chemical plant. The pump had been in service for approximately 20 years and the records indicated that it had not required any remedial work on the pump during this time. The machine is on a vibration based condition monitoring schedule and is monitored on a 5 weekly cycle.
This case study is of a two stage in-line reciprocating compressor which is driven by a two speed (960/400 rpm) electric motor via a 9 belt pulley system giving a compressor speed of either 345 rpm or 144 rpm respectively. This machine forms part of a monthly vibration monitoring schedule and is one of a team of three identical units that produce CO2 for the chlorine liquefaction process.
