Abstract

Condition based maintenance (CBM) provides a means of improving the conventional maintenance regime by evaluating indicative parameters of plant condition such as temperature, vibration, oil condition and power quality. In addition, Claims CBM can enhance fault detection in many plant items, this potentially reducing failure rates. It can also improve the energy efficiency of many items of plant. A guide to aid facilities managers and maintenance personnel in understanding the basic concepts of each CBM method, indicating the potential applications, capital costs and benefits associated with each method. The CBM methods covered in the Guide are: Vibration analysis, Acoustic emissions monitoring, Thermography, Wear and oil analysis, Power quality monitoring and Monitoring via building management systems.
