In the critical work of maintaining power plant machinery,
operating difficulties with centrifugal pumps will inevitably occur
because of the essential requirement for electric power plants to
operate at all times throughout the year. The root causes and
solutions for pump failure comprise major areas of study for
engineers in seeking the highest availability of
electricity-generating units, extending time between major
machinery overhauls and providing early detection of potential
failure modes well in advance of machine degradation. This guide
for engineers provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals
of centrifugal pumps, addressing the range of pump operating
problems encountered in both fossil and nuclear power plants. The
book is divided into three sequential parts: Part I - Primer on
Centrifugal Pumps, Part II -Power Plant Centrifugal Pump
Applications, and Part III - Trouble-Shooting Case Studies.
Employing effective research models developed through years of
experience, the author draws on an extensive range of scholarship
that covers the detrimental impact of power plant pump failures on
overall plant performance, as well as the preventative measures
that aid in successful pump maintenance. After covering the
performance and components of centrifugal pumps, operating failure
modes are covered both for fossil and nuclear power plants. This is
followed by the presentation of several power plant pump
troubleshooting case studies. The text also walks readers through
the various other industrial applications of centrifugal pumps, as
in their use within petrochemical plants and in ocean vessel
propulsion systems. Recognizing the warning signs of specific
impending pump failure modes is essential to minimizing the
financial costs of dealing with pump operating problems. To this
end, the author lays out a range of theoretical models and relevant
examples in support of the essential work of power plant pump use
and maintenance:
