  • Page 44 Horizontal Thermal compensation During normal operation, machinery is influenced of different factors and forces. The most common of these changes is the change in the temperature of the machine. This will cause the height of the shaft to increase. This is called thermal growth. To com- pensate for thermal growth, you enter values for cold condition compensation.
