Abstract
Pumps take care of the transport of liquids in plants and processes. If they stand still, the result can be loss of production or even failure of entire hydraulic systems. The more expensive a pump is or as more valuable a process is, the more important it is to regularly record and control the condition of the pumps. As pumps also react to changes in a plant, they are also indicators of the conditions prevailing there. In order to achieve real process improvement, it is important to find out the cause of failures and disturbances. With respect to centrifugal pumps, this could be the following:
-
defective mechanical seals point to dry-running or partial-/over-load
-
damaged rolling element bearings are the consequence of gas content of the pumped medium
-
eroded impellers and casings are the result of cavitation.
