Investigation on transient dynamic balancing of the power turbine rotor and its application

Abstract

In the dynamic balancing procedure of the rotor system, the unbalance is determined as a principal parameter which should be identified firstly. In actual engineering, the interference of external noise on the rotor is usually the main factor influencing the identification. In this paper, we focus on the unbalance identification of the power turbine rotor while the vibration response is influenced by signal interference during the balancing process in actual engineering. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and wavelet transform are used to analyze the collected original signal. Butterworth filter and Chebyshev type I filter are employed to test signal processing. The transient dynamic balancing method and the single plane influence coefficient method are used to balance the three balancing bosses of the rotor, and the balance efficiency is compared. The results show that, the signal fluctuation of boss 3 in high-frequency band is less than boss 1 and boss 2. Butterworth filter is more effective than Chebyshev type I filter in filtering the transient response data. The transient dynamic balancing method requires one test run without any trial-weights. More importantly, compared with the influence coefficient method, the transient dynamic balancing method has a better balancing effect.
