Energy analysis of several roller bearings according to vibration and bearing gap values in industrial fans

The decrease in natural energy resources in the world, industrialization and increase in the number of population cause the energy to be used more and more every day. The ever-increasing trend of energy costs has led to an increase in studies on energy efficiency, especially in industrial enterprises. In the past researches on fans, a certain amount of energy efficiency has been achieved with the improvements in the fan blade structure and the use of drivers in the systems. In addition to these studies, it has been determined that the vibration, shaft, bearing and bearing clearances of the fans have negative effects on the operation of the fan, and certain studies have been carried out on these issues. In the study, the effect of vibration and gE values of spherical roller bearings on fans data were determined and an energy analysis was made about the fans.
