Diagnostic tests of vertical pumps modernized pump stations

Abstract

The article discusses the methods of maintenance and technical diagnostics of large vertical pumping units of modernized pumping stations of the largest cascades of the Amu-Bukhara and Karshi channels to ensure reliability during their operation, assesses the qualitative and quantitative changes in their modes. The operation of large pumping stations poses a number of problems that cannot be solved without experimental studies. The aim of the research is the problem of comprehensive diagnostics of pumping units and the development of new export-oriented diagnostic devices. The use of new designs of pumping power and diagnostic equipment involves the use of mathematical modeling of control of the operating modes of machine channels, which gives significant savings. Methods of accounting for cavitation-hydroabrasive wear of the blades are based on the study of the movement of the hydroabrasive flow along the radius of the impeller. Recommended elimination of pump operating modes with a maximum wear rate of their parts.
