Methodology for data collection:Vibration data were collected from a Sirocco fan unit using two piezoelectric accelerometers positioned in horizontal and vertical directions. Measurements were taken under normal, unbalanced rotor, and obstructed channel conditions at three different flow rates, and the recorded signals were processed with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for subsequent analysis.

Data processing that was performed:The collected vibration signals were processed using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert them from the time domain to the frequency domain and identify dominant frequencies. These frequency components were then analyzed through two diagnostic methods: the Purified Orbit Diagram (POD), which combines horizontal and vertical vibration data to visualize orbit patterns, and the Symmetrized Dot Pattern (SDP), which transforms the signals into visual patterns to detect amplitude and frequency variations associated with different fault conditions.
