Continuous Vibration Monitoring System

GEA VTrac

Minimize Unplanned Equipment Shutdowns

To minimize equipment downtime and reduce

costly compressor rebuilds, GEA offers the VTrac

continuous vibration monitoring system for industrial

refrigeration and gas compression packages.

The GEA VTrac system consists of two vibration sensors

(accelerometers) on the compressor and two on the motor

(pictured at right). The accelerometers are wired to a compact

plug-in module located in the control panel. These sensors

not only monitor the bearings, but they also monitor the

motor rotor bars and detect unbalance and 2x line frequency

problems. The GEA VTrac is a fully integrated solution when

used with GEA Omni control panels and is adaptable to other

control panels and equipment. To explore the benefits of GEA

VTrac, please contact your local GEA sales professional.

Key Features of the GEA VTrac System

When Integrated with the

GEA Omni Control Panel

• Continuously trends vibration amplitudes.

• Relative vibration levels are historically trended and accessible via communications.

• “Damage View” displays the relative vibration level in an easily understood bar graph (pictured at right).

• Switching to “Spectrum View” displays the full vibration spectrum with fault frequencies.

• “Warning” and “Damage” levels are annunciated. The “Damage” level can be configured to automatically shut down the compressor.
