A perfection concept is proposed for automated control diagnostics systems used at power plants with application of shaft sensors. It is proposed a systematic approach to solve a number of practical problems related with safety and performance of power generating turbosets. Diagnostics of multi-rotor turboset technical condition are significantly improved due to "complete" set of shaft motion sensors, applied at both sides of each journal bearing. There have been given diagnostics signs of defects measured with shaft sensors and suggested some extra criteria of reliability of the shafting and supports.
To illustrate the method let us compute correcting alignments of fragment of shafting. Using simplified 2-rotor 4-support turboset, it is shown that: corrective alignments of supports, recommended by manufacturers of turboset and generator, may be not sufficient to compensate misalignments of supports, caused by thermal deformations of turboset support system. Those corrective misalignments should be computed individually for each turboset, using real thermal deformations and real clearances of journal bearings.

The present work describes the structure and operational concept of the system for machinery condition monitoring using adaptive measurements. The work reveals the results of adaptive measurements procedure of the system illustrated by trends of centrifugal pump vibration signs. The work objective is to increase validity of machinery condition monitoring results through providing high spectral resolution. The spectral resolution is essential for separating defects in the vibration signal spectrum and retaining high speed of vibration measuring. This is required in order to eliminate the omission of defects with minimal expenses on hardware.
The purpose of this work is to develop the search technique of optimal operation procedures for rolling bearings during their condition diagnostics. From the perspective of completing the task for a condition assessment the operation procedure providing minimum diagnostic errors (machinery condition identification error) is considered optimal. The regularities obtained by the developed technique were tried and tested and taken as the basis of the diagnostic technique. Such technique is implemented in modern means, particularly in bench systems of rolling bearings diagnostic.

The purpose of this article is to determine optimal conditions for rotor machinery operation in order to evaluate its condition using coherent function. The coherent function is an analogue of the correlation factor in frequency domain. The function reflects the linear relationship levels of harmonic components of parallel signals covered in the article. The conditions are considered optimal when the coherence function is expressed the most evidently. In other words, the coherent components are close to one.

The paper considers an analysis of vibration changes due to strength degradation of centrifugal pumps details while operating at refineries. The analysis revealed sudden changes of vibration in pump units operation. The paper offers a method of separating smooth changes from sudden ones, degradation process monitoring, and prompting personnel on scheduling the units decommissioning for repair and maintenance. Method of long-term diagnostics for the whole operation life of the pump unit is given.
The article presents the results of reciprocating compressors operation under the control of Vibration-Based Diagnostics monitoring systems, dwells upon the issues of usage of reciprocating compressors valves by various vendors and their influence on compressors’ vibroactivity. An adequate evaluation of vibroactivity of piston machines is provided by the Russian regulative database on vibration parameters.
Main differences of Russian and global methods of reciprocating compressors health evaluation, particularly, used frequency range, are presented in the article. It is shown that the approach laid in Russian standards on reciprocating compressors vibration regulations, ensures true-to-life assessment of reciprocating compressors assemblies and details condition. The examples given in the article confirm that the criteria of reciprocating compressors repair correctness assessment should be the machinery health, including its vibroactivity, not just mindless usage of new components purchased from the global brands. Practical examples of operation and monitoring of reciprocating compressors show that Russian developments and products, particularly, scientific-methodological and standards base of Vibration-Based Diagnostics monitoring, reciprocating compressors monitoring systems, reciprocating compressors valves are highly competitive with foreign ones, and sometimes even superior to them in parameters and characteristics, which is a positive factor under the conditions of current economic situation and import substitution policy.

The paper dwells upon the possibility of using adaptive algorithms based on fuzzy logic in vibration diagnostic systems. An urgent task of improving diagnostic systems by increasing diagnostic reliability with minimal costs for their testing is given in the paper. The authors prove fuzzy logic rules to be necessary for diagnostic tasks. There are functions of vibration acceleration values at various shaft rotation frequencies. An example of vibration diagnostic and monitoring system operation using fuzzy logic is given. The authors prove that using fuzzy logic-based algorithms allows moving forward to the next stage in vibration diagnostic system development.

In the last ten years leading part in maintaining a proper reliability level of a rolling stock is played by technical diagnostics. A great number of means, complexes and systems evaluating rolling stock condition with a certain probability during scheduled maintenance and repairs in depot are developed and implemented today. However, it should be noted that in order to reach dynamic error of 1%(for critical equipment the acceptable error is 0.1%) it is required to perform diagnostics with 2-hour interval maximum, and that is possible only when using an on-board monitoring system detecting malfunction directly in movement.

The condition of regulatory base in the field of vibration reliability is considered. It is noted that the concept of absolute vibration of a shaft for the practicing specialists in vibration adjustment, repair and operation is new. So when performing operational norms on vibration the residual imbalance can exceed several times admissible at factory balancing. The examples proving the specified contradictions are given. Recommendations about improvement of system of standards are made.

The article dwells upon the task of calculating statistical features of plane bearings used in modern power units. The traditional approach used in guidebooks for bearing feature calculation is based on an isothermic model of lubrication layer flow. The current work considers heat and changes of all lubrication properties caused by temperature.
