Vibration Assessment Of Variable Speed Vertically Mounted Pumps
Abstract
Analytical and experimental assessments of the vibration characteristics are described for two 700 hp, vertically mounted centrifugal service water pumps following their conversion from fixed speed to variable speed operation. This work was accomplished by the New York Power Authority at the Charles Poletti Power Project in Queens, New York. Implementation criteria and a description of the adjustable speed drive system are presented, as are predicted and measured dynamic performance of the modified pumps during startup and initial operation.
