INTRODUCTION
The base term being the base to considerations of rotary vessels operating
correctness, is the problem of its mechanical balance. This is an extremely
extensive problem including many issues connected with statics and dynamics.
Generally, one says about correct mechanical balance as an optimum state of the
forces and stresses distribution acting on the vessel carrying system and coat.
The essential factor, which determines this distribution, is elements' geometry
and mutual relations between their rotation axes.
The object geometry term
includes such parameters as
the carrying system configuration,
the
coat's state and
the drive section parameters. Knowledge of these
factors, together with knowledge of the object operating-technological
parameters, gives the possibility of deducing about its state. Our firm disposes
of wide fan of measurement and analysis methods with specialized, the highest
quality equipment's application.
Regarding this, the carrying system geometry measurements and the measurements
of the shell geometry and vessel drive section parameters
can be realized in
both conditions: of its full operating and in the period of its shutdown. In
the first case, so called hot method, the real parameters are taken to the
system analysis. In the case of so called cold method, by the analytical
activities, there is a possibility of simulating the operating conditions,
taking into considerations among others potential temperature distribution and
potential value of the technological process' settings, taking place inside the
object.
The relation of the carrying system measurements with the
measurements of the coat's state, lets infer about the mutual influence of these
parameters and take into consideration this fact during determining the
correcting settings of the rollers positions. The combination of the geometrical
measurements with the professional inspection including the temperature
distribution defining, the direct measurements of the axial reaction forces of
the rollers and the elements deformations analysis, for given kinematic,
operating parameters and surrounding conditions, gives the possibility of
complex attitude to the problem of defining the object mechanical balance.
APPLICATION
The alignment analysis has the application in defining the rotary vessels state
with the considerable overall dimensions such as: kilns, incinerating plants,
dryers, coolers, calciners, crystallizers, mixers etc. It can be also
successfully applied with the objects without typical rolling carrying system
meaning e.g. any kind of mills with slide bearings and other plants with the
similar construction.
