Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to multistage or single-stage centrifugal pump assemblies with a monitoring unit for monitoring at least one operational parameter of a pump, and to mounting systems for mounting such a monitoring unit on a pump.
  • multistage centrifugal pumps are often used for high pressure and/or high flow performance in industrial applications for which reliability is crucial.
  • multistage centrifugal pumps may be used on off-shore wind energy plants.
  • a reliable operation of the pumps is necessary to achieve a high operational efficiency of a wind energy plant. It is thus desired to know as soon as possible if an operational parameter of a pump indicates a failure already happened or a likely failure in the future. In both cases the operational efficiency of the plant may depend on how quickly an action for service, repair, or replacement can be triggered. So, quick information about the current operational parameters of a pump can be essential.
  • known pumps comprise monitoring units in their main electronics housing for indicating operational parameters. It is also known to connect the pumps with a telecommunications network such that the operational parameters can be communicated via a telecommunications interface to a remote receiving station.
  • WO 2010/081694 describes a monitoring unit in form of a bespoke collar embracing a drive unit of the pump.
  • embodiments of the present disclosure provide a mounting system for a pump monitoring unit allowing a mounting of one type of monitoring unit to a variety of pump sizes and types.
  • a variety of existing pumps without a monitoring unit can be easily and cost-efficiently equipped and “retro-fitted” with one type of monitoring unit by use of an embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • a mounting system for mounting a monitoring unit on a pump for monitoring at least one operational parameter of the pump comprising
  • the bracket can be configured to be mounted to a standard fastener already comprised in a variety of pumps with different sizes.
  • a multistage or single-stage centrifugal pump may comprise a peripheral flange connection between a motor housing and a casing, wherein the peripheral flange connection is axially fastened by standard nut-and-bolt fasteners.
  • the bracket of the mounting system disclosed herein may be coupled to the pump by one of those nut-and-bolt fasteners.
  • multistage or single-stage centrifugal pumps may comprise two installation sections for the pump to be installable in two alternative operating orientations: a vertical stand-up position, wherein the rotational axis of the motor is essentially vertical, and a horizontal lying position, wherein the rotational axis of the motor is essentially horizontal.
  • the bracket may be coupled to that installation section of the pump which is not used for the actual operating position. For instance, if the pump is installed in a vertical operating position, an unused lateral installation section for the horizontal lying position may be used for coupling the bracket of the mounting system disclosed herein. Vice versa, an unused axial installation section for the vertical stand-up position may be used for coupling the bracket of the mounting system disclosed herein if the pump is installed in a horizontal lying operating orientation.
  • the distance provided by the elongate member between the housing and the pump provides the necessary flexibility for the monitoring unit to be retro-fitted in a variety of positions relative to the pump which is often installed in a confined space like a windmill.
  • the bracket allows for a versatile use of standard fasteners or existing installation sections of the pump for mounting the monitoring unit to the pump. Furthermore, the distance provided by the elongate member minimizes a heat transfer from the pump to the electronics within the mounting unit.
  • the housing may be manually rotatable around a longitudinal axis of the elongate member from a first rotational position to a second rotational position.
  • a rotatable mounting provides another degree of freedom for the flexibility for the monitoring unit to be retro-fitted to the pump in confined spaces, such as a wing energy plant.
  • the housing may be prevented from inadvertent rotation, for instance caused by vibrations, by a frictional contact to the elongate member or at least one latch.
  • the housing may be fixed after manual rotation in the desired rotational position by a fastener like a bolt or screw.
  • the bracket is mounted on the first mounting portion of the elongate member so that a longitudinal axis of the elongate member is parallel to a rotor axis of the pump.
  • the extension of the overall installation space envelope of the pump including the mounted monitoring unit may be kept to a minimum or none if the elongate member is parallel to it.
  • a pump comprises a laterally protruding pump inlet or outlet flange at a lateral side along a pipe axis
  • the bracket may be mounted on the first mounting portion of the elongate member in such a way that it can be coupled to the pump at the lateral side where the pump inlet or outlet flange laterally protrudes.
  • the housing is waterproof to protect the monitoring unit and comprises at least one input port for receiving at least one operational parameter from a pump sensor.
  • the distance provided by the elongate member between the housing and the pump allows for a simple waterproof shape of the housing without the need for bespoke adaptations to the individual pump it is supposed to be mounted on.
  • the input port(s) for instance industry standard M12 coaxial cable connector(s), can protrude through sealed opening(s) in the housing.
  • At least one of the input ports may be a wireless receiver such as an antenna, a transmission coil or a similar device for wireless communication with a pump sensor, e.g. a Bluetooth communication.
  • the elongate member has a higher stiffness than the housing.
  • the elongate member may comprise metal and the housing may comprise plastic.

  • the bracket may preferably be coupled to a flange fastener connecting a motor housing with a casing, because such a flange fastener extends parallel to the rotor axis of the motor.
  • the bracket may preferably be coupled to a lateral installation section, because such a lateral installation section provides for fastening perpendicular to the rotor axis of the motor.
  • the bracket may ensure that the elongate member is aligned in parallel with the rotor axis.
  • the first mounting portion of the elongate member is located at a first axial end of the elongate member, and the second mounting portion of the elongate member extends from the first mounting portion to a second axial end of the elongate member. This ensures a minimal installation space envelope of the mounting system while providing sufficient distance between the housing and the pump.
  • the elongate member is spring mounted on the bracket.
  • a spring mounting can be advantageous to compensate production tolerances and to dampen the transfer of vibrations from the pump to the housing.
  • the mounting system including a spring is more resilient against inadvertent loosening of bolts, screws or other connections.
  • a longitudinal axis of the elongate member is essentially vertical.
  • the housing comprises a first opening and a second opening essentially arranged coaxially, preferably on a vertical line, wherein the second mounting portion of the elongate member is inserted through the first opening and the second opening, wherein the housing is fixed in axial direction relative to the second mounting portion of the elongate member by an abutment face at an end of the second mounting portion of the elongate member, wherein the abutment face abuts axially against the second opening of the housing.
  • the elongate member may be a rod, a shaft, or a pipe, preferably with a circular outer cross section, preferably tubular, preferably made of a metal like steel or aluminum.
  • the first and second openings may be formed by housing lugs projecting from the housing.
  • the abutment face may be formed by an annular face radially projecting at an end of the second mounting portion of the elongate member. Such an abutment face may be integral with the elongate member or defined by a head of a screw screwed into the axial face of the second mounting portion of the elongate member.
  • the first and/or the second openings may comprise at least one radially inward projection for compensating production tolerances and ensuring a tight fit between the elongate member and the housing.
  • the at least one radially inward projection may be resilient to a certain degree to be at least partially squeezed radially outward when the elongate member is inserted through the first opening and/or the second opening.
  • the at least one radially inward projection may thus provide for a slightly smaller cross section of the first and/or the second opening that is flexible to adapt to the cross section of the second mounting portion of the elongate member within a tolerance range.
  • the first opening is located near a first side of the housing and the second opening is located near a second side of the housing, wherein the first side and the second side are opposing sides of the housing.
  • the mounting system is more resistant to torque moments.
  • the housing defines an inner volume for accommodating the monitoring unit, wherein the elongate member is located outside of the inner volume.
  • An external mounting of the housing on the second mounting portion may not need any screwing into the plastic body of the housing, and thus facilitating a simple, reusable, durable and waterproof design of the housing.
  • “External” may be defined here as the second mounting portion not protruding into the inner volume of the housing.
  • the mounting system comprises an antenna confined inside the housing, wherein the antenna is connectable to the monitoring unit.
  • an antenna may, for instance, be integrated into the housing.
  • the antenna may be used for wireless communication between the monitoring unit and a remote receiver or sender.
  • Such wireless communication may be unidirectional, bi-directional or multidirectional and may include information containing pump parameters, alerts, warnings, commands, instructions, updates, time, identifier, or other.
