“…Parrondo et al created an expert system that attempted to detect the existence of six abnormal situations including flow rate greater than the best efficiency flow rate, lower flow rate, cavitation partially developed, cavitation fully developed, presence of an obstacle in the inlet conduit and rotational speed greater than or lower than the specified value. Although its classification of the pump's fault mode was correct on the lab tested setup, the effectiveness of adapting such a system to other industrial pumps was not attempted, (Parrondo, Velarde, & Santolaria, 1998). Similarly, Yang et al (Yang, Lim, & Tan, 2005) created an expert system for fault detection for centrifugal pumps which also incorporated decision trees.…”

Cavitation is one of the main problems reducing the longevity of centrifugal pumps in industry today. If the pump operation is unable to maintain operating conditions around the best efficiency point, it can be subject to conditions that may lead to vaporisation or flashing in the pipes upstream of the pump. The implosion of these vapour bubbles in the impeller or volute causes damaging effects to the pump. A new method of vibration cavitation detection is proposed in this paper, based on adaptive octave band analysis, principal component analysis and statistical metrics. Full scale industrial pump efficiency testing data was used to determine the initial cavitation parameters for the analysis. The method was then tested using vibration measured from a number of industry pumps used in the water industry. Results were compared to knowledge known about the state of the pump, and the classification of the pump according to ISO 10816.

“…Given consideration of these limitations, sensors are seldom employed in reality. Therefore, a system capable of accurate detection of operation conditions and increasing the efficiency of fault diagnosis [5] for centrifugal pumps should be developed [6]. The basic mechanism of such system is to analyze and subsequently identify the vibration signal obtained from one single acceleration sensor, which gives the system the superiority of easy achievement with no need to change the plant structure.…”

Off-design operation conditions might not only seriously affect the internal flow status of a centrifugal pump, but also result in additional energy loss and potential mechanical damage. Therefore, early-stage monitoring and predication on off-design operation conditions for centrifugal pumps have become essential. Single-value indicators have favorable factors such as a smaller amount of calculation and easier identification. As a result, industries prefer the more straightforward approach: obtaining single-value indicators directly from the signals which could be easier compared with accepted standards. The possibility of applying the single-value indicators of vibration into operation condition monitoring for a centrifugal pump is studied theoretically and experimentally, which shows that the statistical features of vibration might be suitable for hydraulic instability detection for a centrifugal pump.

“…This leads to an increase in the levels of vibration that might decrease the performance of the pump and hence results in causing damage in the pump parts such as the impeller and volute. It may also lead to decreasing the pumps bearing life and the seal failures [7, 8, 9, 10]. The measurements of vibration in centrifugal pumps can be utilised for several applications including quality control and condition monitoring (CM) [11, 12, 13].…”

Cavitation is an essential problem that occurs in any pump. It highly contributes to deteriorating the performance of the pump. In industrial applications, it is important to detect and decrease the effect of the cavitation in pumps. In this work, detecting and diagnosing the cavitation phenomenon within centrifugal pumps using vibration technique was investigated. The results obtained for vibration signal in both time and frequency domains were analysed in order to gain a better understanding about the detection of cavitation in the pumps in question. The effect of different operating conditions including various flow rates and pump rotational speeds related to the cavitation were measured. Different statistical features in time domain analysis (TDA) and also the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) technique for frequency domain analysis (FDA) were applied.
