Default RE: Turbine balancer

How do you plan on actually performing the balance? Will you be using strobe, phase target, vibration sensors? I assume you are going for a dynamic and not static so what kind of rpms does this unit generate? You have to be careful of coupled imbalance where the unit is static balanced but you have a heavy spot on turbine 180 degrees+ or - from heavy spot on compressor. This is a complex topic and i am interested in your results. Doug
