Centrifugal Blower Commissioning Checklist Audit

Centrifugal Blower Commissioning Checklist Audit
A Centrifugal Blower Commissioning Audit is a structured evaluation performed to verify that a centrifugal blower system is installed correctly, operates as designed, and meets safety and performance standards before it enters full service. Here's a clear and organized breakdown of what such an audit typically includes:
Centrifugal Blower Commissioning Audit Checklist1. Pre-Commissioning Checks
Documentation Review
Review technical specs, drawings, and manufacturer manuals
Confirm model, serial number, and design parameters
Visual Inspection
Check for physical damage, rust, or wear
Verify alignment of motor and blower shaft
Ensure all fasteners are torqued to spec
Installation Verification
Confirm proper foundation and vibration isolation
Check ductwork alignment and connections
Ensure electrical wiring is to code and matches the schematics
Verify lubrication (oil/grease level and type)
2. Mechanical and Electrical Checks
Rotation Check
Bump motor to verify correct direction of rotation
Coupling and Belt Tension
Inspect and adjust as needed per OEM guidelines
Motor Insulation and Grounding
Perform insulation resistance test (megger test)
Confirm proper grounding connections
3. Instrumentation and Controls
Sensors and Gauges
Check pressure, temperature, and vibration sensors
Calibrate as necessary
Control Panel Functionality
Verify control logic and safety interlocks
Test emergency stop and alarm functions
4. Test Run and Performance Verification
No-Load Run
Start blower without load
Monitor for unusual noise, vibration, or overheating
Full-Load Test
Operate at design conditions
Record parameters:
Airflow (CFM)
Static pressure (inches of water gauge)
Motor current and voltage
Vibration and temperature readings
Compare actual vs. design values
5. Safety and Compliance Checks
Check safety guards and enclosures
Confirm compliance with OSHA, NFPA, and relevant local codes
Verify emergency shutdown functionality
6. Final Documentation and Handover
Record all test results and observations
Note any deficiencies or required corrective actions
Provide a signed commissioning report
Deliver O&M manuals and training to operators (if required)
