EVMU in Airbus A320 β Monitoring the Heartbeat of Your Engines
οΈWhen it comes to keeping our engines running smoothly, monitoring vibration is key to safety, performance, and maintenance planning ππ οΈ
Thatβs where the Engine Vibration Monitoring Unit (EVMU) steps in β a smart, silent guardian of your CFM56 or V2500 engines onboard the Airbus A320. π§ π‘οΈ
What is the EVMU?
The EVMU continuously monitors and analyzes engine vibrations β helping detect:
β οΈ Imbalance in fan or turbine modules
π§ Bearing wear or looseness
π Structural resonance or abnormal loads
It measures vibration using accelerometers mounted on each engine (typically near the fan or LP turbine), then sends data to the ECU (Engine Control Unit) and ECAM displays for flight crew awareness.
EVMU Data on ECAM:
π¨ββοΈ On the Airbus A320 ECAM system, you can view vibration levels per engine (ENG 1 / ENG 2):
Green = Normal β³οΈ
Amber = Caution β
Red = Excessive π₯
Pilots can use this info to adjust thrust, report to maintenance, or log for trend monitoring.
For Maintenance & Engineers:
The EVMU is a powerful diagnostic tool π
Using post-flight reports or CFDS via MCDU, maintenance engineers can:
Detect early signs of mechanical damage
Plan engine balancing or borescope inspections
Prevent expensive unscheduled removals π°β±οΈ
Why Does It Matter?
β
Improves safety
β
Reduces maintenance cost
β
Extends engine life
β
Enhances predictive maintenance (MSG-3 aligned)
