Vibration with axial fan
Vibration with axial fan
(OP)
Hi there.
please don't hate or kid me, but I am here to ask your help since I have received a more than odd question from a Customer.
Following is the question.
The subject is an air conditioning unit with an axial fan.
My customer is asking me which is the maximum level of vibration the unit can withstand.
I think this question is quite generic, nonetheless I'd need some hints to know how to start analyzing this question.
Please, can you help me ?
Thanks in advance

I am working for the manufacturer, but I have never faced a question like this.
Moreover, if you google the question, I can't fine this values specified by any manufacturer.

The question is concerning the vibrations the model can withstand.
Indeed vibration can be generated either by fan or the compressor.
To Mr. MiketheEngineer
Yes, but we are talking about applications where the smallest is 7 ft large.
I can't find very difficult to find even an experimental way to test it.
To Mr. rob768
Please, could you give me some specific reference to the standards you are quoting ?
Many thanks

How would you even begin to ponder this analysis if you have no idea what the customer has in mind?
Nonetheless, refrigerated trucks have hull-mounted units that can at least withstand road vibrations.

RE: Vibration with axial fan
A major US equipment manufacturer has stated to us (somewhat after the fact, as their equipment has been failing regularly) that in order for their equipment to survive the operating environment must not exceed ANSI/AGMA 6000-B96.
I got a reply from AGMA that confirms their intent that it should be used as a guideline for mutually agreed upon acceptance testing, not for any kind of field evaluation or requirement.
