- This invention relates to techniques for monitoring the performance of a pump; and more particularly, this invention relates to techniques for monitoring the performance of a pump based at least partly on unsteady pressures or acoustic emissions sensed in relation to the pump using, e.g., SONAR-based and/or PVDF-based sensor technology.
- the pumps may include among others centrifugal, bladder, piston or positive displacement pumps.
- centrifugal, bladder, piston or positive displacement pumps The following is a brief description of some known pump conditions or parameters that are important to pump performance, known techniques for monitoring pump performance as well as some of drawbacks related to the known techniques:
- the slip of a centrifugal pump is an important parameter in determining the efficiency of the pump.
- Wear in an impeller and/or a casing or liner of a pump can increase the slip and thereby reduce efficiency of the pump.
- leaks around bearings and mating surfaces can be a problem in high pressure applications if not quickly identified and fixed.
- a small high pressure leak will have an associated high frequency acoustic emission. This acoustic frequency will be higher than the vibration and other acoustic frequencies present on a typical pump.
- pump typically used for high viscosity or pressure applications are positive displacements pumps. These pumps operate by forcing fluid from an inlet pressure section of the pump into the discharge section. Several variations of these pumps exist, although most employ a valve or sealing mechanism to isolate the inlet from the discharge during the pressurization phase of the pump.
- the overall efficiency of an electric-motor driven pump may be defined as the power delivered to the fluid (the water horsepower) divided by the electric power delivered to the motor:
- PDISCHARGE Pump discharge pressure, Pa
- PiNTAKE Pump intake pressure, Pa
- W Electrical power, Watts.
- the pump/motor efficiency will be less than one due to system losses which can include fluid leakage (through impeller clearances), friction, mechanical (bearings, seals, etc.) in the pump and the electric motor efficiency.
- the operator of a pump will generally want to run the pump at the highest possible efficiency for a given set of flow conditions. However, over time as the pump is used the efficiency will decrease either 1 ) gradually due to normal wear or 2) suddenly due to mechanical failure or damage. In either case, there will be an optimum point at which maintenance action to restore lost efficiency would be beneficial.
- the operator's dilemma is deciding when to perform maintenance, because maintenance done too soon or too late can significantly impact overall cost to the operator.

Consistent with that described herein re centrifugal pumps, the performance of the pump can be monitored by measuring the flow produced by the pump 702 versus the number of pumping strokes. Both of these parameters can be measured by the SONAR- based flow meter. The meter in its normal mode of operation can give the material flow rate, while an analysis of the acoustic signals received can be used to track the pumping stroke rate.
- Additional information on the wear rate of the pump can also be determined through a more detailed analysis of the acoustic emissions from the pump.
- the condition of a number of pump components, including seals, diaphragms and valves, can be ascertained from the acoustic signatures the components emit during operation.
- each value may close depending on the stage of the pump. As each valve closes it will emit acoustic signals from the closure as well as possibly emit during the piston compression.
- the acoustic signature of the valve closing can determine if the valve is closing quickly and completely or if it is starting to wear, inducing more leakage and take additional time to close. Also, if the valve is not closing completely during the compression stage of the pump acoustic emissions of a leakage could be detected.
- diaphragm based positive displacement pump the critical diaphragm components could be monitored through its acoustic emissions.
- a hole or rip in the diaphragm could be detected as high frequency acoustics, while a periodic impulse may indicate a tear that is oscillating.

- the scope of the invention is not intended to be limited to any particular type or kind of system or device for processing a flowing medium being monitored.
- embodiments are envisioned using, and the scope of the invention is intended to include, other types or kinds of systems, or industrial devices or equipment either now known or later developed in the future.
