xx 大学机械工程学院毕业设计The application of Acoustic Emission for detectingincipient cavitation and the best efficiency point of a60KW centrifugal pump; case studyL. Alfayez, D. Mba, G. Dyson July 2005AbstractPumps play a significant role in Industrial plants and need continuous monitoring tominimize loss of production. To date, there is limited published information on theapplication of Acoustic Emission (AE)to incipient pump cavitation. This paper presents acase study where AE has been applied for detecting incipient cavitation and determining thebest efficiency point (BEP)of a 60KW centrifugal pump. Results presented are based onNPSH (Net Positive Suction Head)and performance tests. In conclusion the AE techniquewas shown to offer early detection of incipient cavitation, furthermore, the technique hasdemonstrated the ability to determine the BEP of a pumpKeywords:Acoustic Emission; best efficiency point; cavitation; condition monitoring;Pump performance1. IntroductionTypically the pump manufacturer will undertake performance and PositiveSuction Head)tests on supplied pumps, the significance of the latter is to determine the3%drop in head at which serious cavitations will occur. The NPSH can be expressed as thedifference between the suction head and the liquids vapour head. The concept of NPSH wasdeveloped for the purpose paring inlet condition of the system with the inletrequirement of the pump. Cavitation causes a loss of pump efficiency and degradation of themechanical integrity of the pump. It must be noted that cavitation starts to develop before the第 45 页 共 57 页xx 大学机械工程学院毕业设计(论文)3%drop in head. It is generally accepted that the critical pressure for inception of cavitationis not constant and varies with operation fluid physical properties and the surface roughnessof the hydraulic of the high frequency Acoustic Emission (AE)technique in condition monitoringof rotating machinery has been growing over recent years[1-9].Typical frequenciesassociate
