Centrifugal pumps (CPs) are widely utilized in many different industries, and their operations are maintained by their reliable performance. CPs' most common faults can be categorized as mechanical or flow-related faults: the first ones are often associated with damage at the impeller, while the second ones are associated with cavitation. It is possible to use computational algorithms to monitor both failures in CPs. In this study, two different problems in pumps, the defective impeller and cavitation, have been considered. When a CP is working in a faulty condition, it generates vibrations that can be measured using piezoelectric sensors. Collected data can be analyzed to extract time- and frequency-domain data. Interpreting the time-domain data showed that distinguishing the type of defect is not possible. However, indicators like kurtosis, skewness, mean, and variance can be used as input for the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) algorithm to classify pump faults. This study presents a detailed discussion of the vibration-based method outcomes, emphasizing the benefits and drawbacks of the multi-layer perceptron method. The results show that the suggested algorithm can identify the occurrence of different faults and quantify their severity during pump operation in real time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
