Hydraulically Rerating Centrifugal Pumps To Improve Reliability
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
The authors present two case studies where improperly applied hydraulics resulted in poor mechanical reliability, due to chronic flow instability problems. A successful hydraulic rerate of these pumps, which required minimal ...
Using Fiber-Optic Pressure Sensors To Detect Cavitation And Flow Instabilities In Centrifugal Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper introduces the benefits of applying the fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer (ffpi) pressure sensor as a means of detecting cavitation and flow instabilities in centrifugal pumps. The need for monitoring dynamic ...
