Rotor dynamic response of pumps is greatly influenced by the nature of the hydraulic forces arising from wearing seal, balance drum and impeller, etc.. Therefore, rotor dynamic analysis should be conducted during the design stage in order to aleviate some of the vibrational problems which might occur during the operational life of pumps. Previsousely, the authors have proposed the method to obtain the dynamic seal coefficients of the annular plain seal, convergent and divergent tapered seals, parallel grooved seal, spiral grooved seal and annular stepped seal. On the basis of these results, this paper presents the investigated effect of seals on the stability behavior of a centrifugal pump. The results show the effects of seal geometry, pressure difference, clearance, length/diameter ratio, on stability behavior.

회전축계의 강제진동으로 가장 전형적이고 공업상 중요한 것은 넓은 의미로서 불평형 진동이다. 불평형은 회전체의 제작상 피할 수 없으며 진동이 전혀 문제가 되지 않는 정도로 제작하는 것은 경제적인 면에서도 불가능하다. 지금까지 미끄럼 베어링으로 지지된 회전축계의 불평형 응답 특성에 대하여는 여러 연구자에 의해 연구가 진행되고 있다. 수중에서 운전되는 펌프는 물의 감쇠작용 때문에 축진동 문제는 적다고 생각되어 펌프의 축진동에 관한 보고는 별로 없다. Black은 펌프의 축진동을 연구하여, 시일부분이 축진동 응답에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 보였다. 그러나 시일형상에 따른 유체력 평가가 충분히 구명되지 않았기 때문에 환상 시일부분의 틈새,폭경비 및 압력차 등이 펌프진동에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는가가 충분히 검토 되어 있지않다. 이에 저자는 펌프용 시일의 유체력에 의한 진동 특성에 관한 일련의 연구를 진행하여 각종 시일의 유체력을 해석하였고, 이 유체력이 회전축계의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였으며 범용 안정성해석 프로그램을 개발하였다.

This paper deals with the detail rotordynamic analysis for the vertical rotor system as development of vertical sea water lift pump for FPSO deep well. In a vertical rotor system, since linearized stiffness and damping coefficients of fluid film bearing are no longer be valid, hence the transient response analysis considering a fluid film force for every journal position in the bearing needs to be required. In this study, the transient response analysis of the proposed vertical pump rotor system was carried out in dry-run and wet-run conditions, respectively. The results show that orbital vibration responses of the rotor system remain stable at rated speed and thereby operating reliability of the vertical rotor system is confirmed. To overcome complexity of calculation pr ocedure and time consuming calculation of transient analysis, the calculating technique of steady-state response analysis is also proposed. The results of steady-state response obtained by applying the proposed technique to the rotor system are good agreement with the reference results, that is, transient responses.

This paper deals with the detail rotordynamic analysis for BB5 eight stages pump as development of API 610 BB5 type pump. Dry-run analytical model, not considering operating fluid, and wet-run analytical model, considering operating fluid are established. In addition, plain circular and pressure dam bearings are chosen and it was discussed that each bearing has an effect on dynamic characteristics of pump rotor system. A rotordynamic analysis includes the critical speed map, Campbell diagram, stability, and unbalance response. As results, it was predicted that rated speed of the pump rotor passes through 1st critical speed in dry-run condition regardless of bearings, however, it was verified that, in wet-run condition, the rotor system doesn't have critical speeds even if more than twice rated speed. Hence the resonance problem caused by the critical speeds does not happen since actual operating is in wet-run condition including operating fluid. As a result of unbalance response analysis, the pump rotor has stable vibration response at rated speed, regardless of operating fluid and the proposed bearing types.
