How an aftermarket test lab helped avoid potential problems.
It is now possible to easily monitor submersible pumps.
Solution measures temperature and vibration to detect failure modes.
Evaluation leads to a redesign and improved assembly approach, correcting commissioning issues at an alumina processing plant.
A fix was needed for a power plant’s multistage barrel pump that was experiencing high vibration and failure in the field.
Pipeline transmission company achieved successful ROI from asset monitoring.
International politics, the skills gap, IIoT adoption and more are top of mind.
Mean streamline techniques and computational fluid dynamics identify the culprit causing constant repairs and failure of cooling water pumps.
Power pump performance improved with redesign of the first-stage, double-suction impeller and twin volute.
Power pump performance improved with redesign of the first-stage, double-suction impeller and twin volute.
The phenomenon occurs when a system experiences extreme vibration caused by excessive pump pressure and pulsation.
With the help of a field evaluation, plant managers avoided unnecessary pump repairs.
Seal upgrade and pump repair in the U.S. midwest boost efficiency and reliability with minimal downtime.
Design flaws cause catastrophic failure in a geothermal power station hotwell in New Zealand.
This approach incorporated reverse engineering, design verification and casting simulation to address equipment failure.
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (Nov. 12, 2015) – Encouraging participation from qualified academics, industry consultants and end users was the driving force behind this new initiative to recruit individual experts to work alongside Hydraulic Institute (HI) members in developing technical materials for the pump industry. “This was an easy decision for our board,” said board chairman and Hydro CEO, George Harris.
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (Sept. 11, 2015) – The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has announced the launch of the new Pump Test Lab Approval program. HI member company, Hydro, Inc. becomes the first organization to have their pump test laboratory approved through the program.
Additive manufacturing also improves geometric tolerances.
Thorough analysis, testing and upgrades renew the life of an old single-stage, double-suction, horizontal split case pump.
