VIPER II Model 4041 Fan Trim Balancer Text Info

The VIPER II Model 4041 Fan Trim Balancer/Engine Vibration Analyzer allows for transient balance and acoustic analysis of engines. Instead of balancing at 3, 7, or 9 speeds, it can balance at over 100 speeds during acceleration or deceleration for a more thorough balance. This reduces vibrations throughout the engine's operating range and decreases the need for re-balancing. It has features like USB data transfer, a 5-year warranty, and customer support. Transient balancing sweeps through the engine's speeds in 1-3 minutes, reducing fuel use and balancing time compared to multi-speed balancing.

VIPER II Model 4041 Fan Trim Balancer/Engine Vibration Analyzer with Transient Balance and Acoustic

analysis capability- You no longer have to try to select a few engine speeds. You simply perform an
acceleration or deceleration (or both) and allow the analyzer to take measurements. Instead of
balancing at 3, 7, or even 9 speeds you’re now balancing AT LEAST 100 speeds, with more available as
necessary. This way, if a vibration increases at a speed you weren’t originally monitoring as one of your
3, 7, or 9, the analyzer will see the vibration increase and add weight to drive it down. It makes it much
easier to “push on the balance” when you’re watching 100 speeds! It also reduces the possibility that
you balance at one speed and release the engine into service only to have a vibration pop up
somewhere else and have the aircraft come back with another vibration/noise complaint. By transient
balancing an engine, your engine performs more efficiently throughout the range of operation.

The VIPER II is equipped with USB/Flash drive for quick download and transfer of analyzer data to
laptops or PC.

All ACES Systems analyzers and balancers include the following:

• an “industry-unique” five (5) year warranty

• 24-hour customer support

• Most repairs (if required) covered in calibration cost-

• 5-7 business day turnaround time on most calibration and repairs-

• Free access to application notes and downloads as a member of ACES Systems Team

BENEFITS OF TRANSIENT BALANCING

Today, using the Transient Balance technique incorporated in the ACES Systems VIPER II, the technician
only has to accelerate the engine across its entire operating range and follow the analyzer’s
recommended solutions. These solutions will automatically monitor the changing conditions in the
engine and eliminate the highest vibration peaks found on every run. The analyzer will search and
eliminate multiple peaks in up to 300 “bins” during each balance run.

With the Transient Balance technique, the balance data is collected during a slow sweep over the speed
range of interest, taking between one and three minutes. The actual data collection time is reduced
relative to the multi-speed balance module. When you elect to collect data at multiple discrete speed
points, it is critical that each balance run return to the same speed point. This requires the technician to
slowly adjust speeds to match the desired speed points taking time and effort. Once the technician is at
the speed point, data is typically collected for about 30 seconds before moving onto the next speed
point.

This translates to approximately one minute of fuel consumption per speed point measured. Some
larger engines require a multi-speed balance job that uses nine speeds translating to approximately nine
minutes of fuel consumption per balance run. Assuming this complicated job is completed with three
runs, 27 minutes of fuel have been burned collecting data. With the Transient Balance technique, the
balance data is collected during a slow sweep over the speed range of interest, taking between one and
three minutes. For the same three-run balance job, the data collection time is only nine minutes, worst
case. This is a 67% reduction in data acquisition time. For simple balance jobs with a single speed, there
is no time savings, but because the balance is addressed over all speeds, there is no fear that another
vibration peak showed up during the trim adjustments.
