Abstrakt: Purpose: Vibration monitoring is being utilizing for decades to determine the condition monitoring of the various rotating systems and Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) during operation. With this aim, a vibration diagnostics along with LabVIEW program for vibration analysis is being setup at the High Temperature Technologies Division (HTTD) of IPR for condition monitoring. Method: Vibration diagnostics consists of an accelerometer, signal conditioning unit, NI PXI based acquisition card and LabVIEW code (developed in-house) to analyze the results in terms of acceleration, Root Mean Square (RMS) and frequency spectrum analysis. Results: The results of condition monitoring using developed vibration diagnostics provides heath of the rotating components and PFCs in High Heat Flux Test Facility (HHFTF). Conclusion: To summarize, the development of vibration monitoring diagnostics and its results on application for condition monitoring of (1) rotating systems such as Vacuum Systems (VS), High Pressure High Temperature Water Circulation System (HPHT-WCS) and (2) PFCs during the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) test in HHFTF are demonstrated.
