Abstract

In this study, a prognostic technique for cavitation erosion that is applicable to centrifugal pumps is devised. To estimate the erosion states of pumps, damage rates are calculated based on cavitation noise measurements. The accumulated damage is predicted by using Miner's rule and the estimated damage undergone when coping with particular operating conditions. The remaining useful life (RUL) of the pump impellers is estimated according to the accumulated damage prediction and based on the assumption of future operating conditions. A Monte Carlo simulation is applied to obtain a prognostic uncertainty. The comparison of the prediction and the test results demonstrates that the developed method can be applied to predict cavitation erosion states and RUL estimates.

원심펌프의 캐비테이션 침식에 대한 예측진단 기법을 본 연구에서 제시했다. 펌프의 침식 상태를 추정하기 위해 캐비테이션 소음을 측정하여 손상률을 계산하고 누적 손상은 특정 운전 상태에 따라 추정한 손상과 Miner의 법칙을 이용하여 계산했다. 펌프 임펠러의 잔존 유효 수명은 미래의 운전 조건을 가정한 누적 손상 예측치에 따라 계산하고 예측 불확도는 몬테카를로 모의를 통해 얻었다. 예측 및 시험 결과를 비교해 본 결과 개발된 방법이 캐비테이션 침식 상태와 잔존 유효 수명을 예측하는 데 적용될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.
