Centrifugal pump failures are most commonly attributed to seal failure, impeller damage and bearing failures. A good understanding of failure modes for seals, impellers and bearings is essential to providing customers with reliable pump repairs. This presentation will explore various failure modes and provide some direction on ways to avoid them.
- How mechanical pump seals operate, the importance of seal face material selection and proper installation techniques
- Impeller damage examples and causes
- General rolling element bearing failure modes
- Bearing failure modes unique to vertical turbine pumps and associated vertical motors
This recording will be useful for service center engineers, pump technicians and operations managers.
