In a rotating machine abnormality detection device, a rotating machine abnormality detection method, and a rotating machine according to the present invention, vibration caused by at least one of first and second rotating bodies is measured, a predetermined feature amount related to a frequency component is obtained based on a frequency spectrum of the measurement data, and determination is made on presence/absence of abnormality based on the obtained predetermined feature amount. On this occasion, when determination is made that abnormality is present, determination whether the determination of abnormality is caused by noise or not is made based on the frequency spectrum, and when determination is made that the determination of abnormality is not caused by the noise, the determined abnormality is ultimately considered as abnormality.

A first determination unit performs a process (first process) of sequentially dividing an intensity value constituting first data by a reference intensity value to calculate an intensity ratio and determining whether the intensity ratio exceeds a first threshold (steps Sand S). When a predetermined period has elapsed, a second determination unit calculates an average change rate of the first data in the predetermined period to determine whether the average change rate is within a predetermined range (steps Sand S). When it is determined that the average change rate is within the range, the reference intensity value is updated and lowered (step S). When the reference intensity value is updated, the first determination unit performs the first process by using the updated reference intensity value in the next predetermined period.
