03-12: Cost Effective Cooling Tower Fan Vibration MonitoringInstallation of a low cost vibration system is being deployed at Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant using accelerometers on cooling tower fan gearboxes. While this system does not have an automatic data gathering or vibration trip capability, the manual data is used to improve the reliability of the fans while reducing vibration levels and maintenance costs. Accelerometers are installed on the gearboxes perpendicular to the drive shaft and the cable runs
