SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO MONITOR PUMP CAVITATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable determination of a cavitation (or pre-cavitation) state of a pump and identification of the most critical parameters affecting a condition of the pump (e.g., pressure and/or vibration) to an operator.SOLUTION: Systems and methods to monitor pump cavitation are disclosed. An example method includes monitoring a pressure parameter and a vibration parameter associated with an asset in an operating process unit. The example method includes calculating a manipulated pressure value based on the pressure parameter. The example method includes calculating a manipulated vibration value based on the vibration parameter. The example method includes determining a state of cavitation associated with the asset, based on at least one of the manipulated pressure value and the manipulated vibration value.
