Bearing metal temperature increase
Bearing metal temperature increase
(OP)
I'm working with a Nuovo pignone compressor with babbitt bearing that 2 RTD mounted on them.During last 3 month bearing metal temperature increased steadily from 85 c to 127 c but oil drain temperature has not changed .I should mention vibration and process condition has not changed.
I'm curious to know have anybody ever face this kind of problem and should we take an immediate action?

I would try to confirm both the oil drain and the RTD sensors to make sure they are reading correctly.
