Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance Centrifugal Pumps Vertical, Horizontal

Water rotary machines, are the most commonly used type of pump in the industry. This type of pump works thanks to the rotation of a body called the impeller, which set in motion by the electric motor causes the liquid inside is pushed outside the pump body through a duct called flow.
The kinetic energy generated by the rotation of the impeller is converted into pressure energy depending on the size of the pump rooms.
Usually, in order to have values of pressure at the pump sufficient to do the job, using pumps with capacities between 10 and 100m / s, these courses are selected mainly based on the type of the liquid to be processed.

General characteristics of centrifugal pumps:

1. Housing (It's structure that has the task to support: bearings, rotor and its shaft; resist forces Axial / radial that are generated during normal operation of the pump).
2. Impeller (It's the part with its operation can transform the energy received by the electric motor into energy work).
3. Bearings (Key components that can support the rotating shaft of the pump which is mounted on the rotor with minimal loss of yield for rolling).
4. Rings (They must keep the working fluid within the pump housing).
5. Liquid (raw material to work).

	Controls needed: Centrifugal pumps, especially large size and operating in working conditions variables, require monitoring of bearing temperature, vibration and global values of the spectrum analysis.
	Pumps for which we have conducted research and monitoring: Brands: Caprari. Industries: Pottery - Paper - Water treatment plants.
