Description
A METHOD FOR DETECTING LEAKAGE IN A POSITIVE
DISPLACEMENT PUMP
The invention relates to a method for detecting leakage in a pump that has at least one displacement body for displacing a medium to be pumped into a pressure line.
Examples for positive displacement pumps to which the invention is applicable com prise piston pumps and screw spindle pumps.
In a piston pump, the displacement body is formed by the piston which is arranged to be movable in a cylinder and delimits, together with the walls of the cylinder, a pump vol- ume that is in communication with the pressure line. When the pump moves in a sense of reducing the pump volume, the medium to be pumped is displaced into the pressure line, and a pump action is achieved thereby.
In a screw spindle pump, the displacement bodies are formed by one or more screw spindles that are disposed to be rotatable in a casing and delimit, with one another and/or with the walls of the casing, one or more pump volumes. In the course of the rotation of the screw spindles, the positions where the screw-shaped displacement bod- ies and the walls of the casing form sealing gaps that enclose the pump volume move
axially towards a high pressure side of the pump, so that the medium is displaced into the pressure line.
In such positive displacement pumps, ideally, the volume flow rate is uniquely deter- mined by the geometry of the displacement bodies and the speed thereof (linear velocity in case of a piston, rotary speed in case of a screw spindle pump), so that, when the speed is known, the volume flow rate can be calculated. In practice, it is not possible, however, to totally seal-off the contact points between the displacement bodies and the walls of the casing, so that gaps are formed that are sealed only more or less and at which an internal leakage can occur, i.e., a part of the medium that has been pumped flows back to the low pressure side. Moreover, depending upon the design of the pump, outer leakages may also occur, for example at seals at which a drive member for the displacement body or bodies enters into the casing.
For these reasons, the actual volume flow rate of the pump is in practice smaller than the value that should be expected theoretically. The quotient between these two quanti ties is designated as volumetric efficiency and should in general be within certain toler ance limits. However, the gap dimensions may become larger during operation of the pump due to wear, so that leakages may increase in the course of time and, accordingly, the volumetric efficiency decreases.
In many applications it is therefore necessary to check the wear condition of the pump from time to time by measuring the difference between the theoretical volume flow rate and the actual volume flow rate. However, a precise measurement of the actual volume flow rate is relatively cumbersome and requires the use of expensive volume flow me ters.
It is an object of the invention to provide a method by which the wear condition of a positive displacement pump can be determined simply and reliably.
According to the invention, this object is achieved by a method with the following steps:
closing-off the pressure line,
operating the pump with a known speed of the displacement body, and
- measuring the pressure in the pressure line.
In the method according to the invention, the direct measurement of the volume flow rate is replaced by a pressure measurement which permits an indirect measurement of the leakage flow and, therewith, also the actual volume flow rate. This concept is based on the consideration that all leakage points of the pump, together, present a certain ob- struction for the medium flowing out, and this obstruction determines the relation be- tween the pressure drop and the leakage volume flow rate. If, when the pump is run ning, the pressure line is closed-off completely, the leakage volume flow rate is equal to the theoretical volume flow rate of the pump that would be obtained for the given speed of the displacement body, and the pressure drop at the leakage points is equal to the pressure that is measured in the pressure line. In this way, the flow resistance of the to tality of all leakage points and, therewith, the leakage volume flow rate can be deter mined by measuring the pressure. All that is required for carrying out this method is a pressure sensor and a lock valve in the pressure line, which pressure sensor and lock valve can optionally be integrated in a discharge socket of the pump. The drive speed is in most cases known because it is pre set by the control system, but the speed could also be measured, if necessary. Useful details and further developments of the invention are indicated in the dependent claims.
The pressure sensor and the lock valve may remain in the pressure line during normal operation of the pump, so that the wear condition of the pump can be checked at any time with only little effort.
The pressure measurement may be performed at different speeds of the pump motor, so that the shape of the curve that describes the dependency of the pressure on the drive speed can be determined in greater detail and more precise hints to possible causes of the occurring leakages can thereby be obtained.
If the lock valve is an electronically controlled valve, the test procedure may be auto- mated completely.
An embodiment example will now be described in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a sketch of a positive displacement pump having a system for detecting leakages by means of a method according to the invention; and
Fig. 2 is an example of a relation between a rotary speed of a drive motor of the pump and the pressure in the pressure line during a measurement of the leakage flow.
As an example of a positive displacement pump, Fig. 1 shows a screw spindle pump 10 having displacement bodies 12 in the form of screw spindles. The screw spindles are in sealing engagement with one another and with the walls of the pump casing and are driven by a motor 14 with equal rotary speeds, so that the volume spaces that are delim ited by the screw spindles move axially from a low pressure side 16 of the pump to- wards a high pressure side 18, and a medium, e.g. a liquid, that is taken in at the low pressure side is displaced towards the high pressure side 18. The high pressure side of the pump is connected to a pressure line 20 through which the medium is supplied under high pressure to a consumer 22 (a spray nozzle in the example shown). The medium that has been discharged by the consumer is collected in a collection vessel 24 that is connected to the low pressure side of the pump, so that the medium may be recirculated.
The motor 14 is connected via a shaft 26 to a gear box, which has not been shown in detail, for driving the screw spindles, the shaft entering into the pump casing on the high pressure side 18. In order to reduce the pressure at the point where the shaft 26 pene- trates the casing wall, a throttle 28 is provided in the casing of the pump 10 between the connection point of the pressure line 20 and the feedthrough for the shaft 28, the throttle having the function to reduce the pressure and to permit only a limited leakage flow which will exit from the casing through a leakage opening 30. Moreover, an internal leakage flow occurs inside of the pump 10 because a part of the medium that has been pumped flows back from the high pressure side 18 to the low pressure side 16 via gaps between the displacement bodies 12 and the casing.
A measurement kit 32 is provided for measuring the total amount of the several internal and external leakage flows of the pump and thereby to check whether the leakage is still within an admissible range. The measurement kit 32 comprises a lock valve 34 by which the pressure line 20 can be closed-off completely, a pressure sensor 36 connected to the pressure line 20 upstream of the lock valve 34 for measuring the pressure in the presume line, and an electronic control and evaluation device 38 which controls the ro- tary speed of the motor 14 via a frequency converter 40 and processes a pressure signal that is provided by the pressure sensor 36. In the example shown, the control and evalu- ation device 38 is further connected to the lock valve 34 via a control line, so that the valve can be actuated electronically.
During normal operation of the pump 10, the lock valve 34 is open, and the rotary speed of the motor 14 is controlled or feedback-controlled such that the demand of the con- sumer 22 can be met.
Operational phases in which the consumer 22 is not active may be utilized for checking the wear condition of the pump 10 by means of the measurement kit 32. To that end, the lock valve 34 is closed and the motor 14 is driven with a rotary speed that may be smaller than the speed in normal operation. Then, a pressure that is detected by the pres sure sensor builds up in the upstream part of the pressure line 20. The more this pressure
increases, the larger becomes the pressure drop at the leakage points of the pump, and the leakage volume flow rate at all these leakage points increases also, approximately in proportion to the pressure drop, with constant viscosity in case of a (Newtonian) liquid. The pressure measured by the pressure sensor 36 increases until an equilibrium has been 5 reached between the leakage volume flow rate and the displacement volume flow rate of the pump 10. While the motor 14 is driven with unchanged rotary speed, the pressure sensor 36 will therefore measure, after a certain time, a constant pressure level which is indicative of the flow resistance of the leakage points. The larger the pressure level that is being reached, the larger is the leakage flow resistance.

In the equilibrium state, the leakage volume flow rate may be calculated on the basis of the rotary speed of the motor 14 because the leakage volume flow rate is equal to the theoretical displacement volume flow rate of the pump 10 that can be calculated for the given rotary speed on the basis of the known geometry of the pump 10.
1 I %J
On the basis of the known relation between the calculated leakage volume flow rate and the pressure measured by the pressure sensor 36, the flow resistance that opposes the leakage flow may be calculated. From this flow resistance, the leakage flow can also be calculated for the normal operating phases of the pump 10, i.e. the phases in which the 20 motor driven is driven with a rotary speed as required by the consumer 22. From the leakage volume flow rate that is obtained in this way and from the theoretical displace- ment volume flow rate for the given rotary speed, the volumetric efficiency of the pump can be calculated, and it can be assessed how much this efficiency has decreased due to wear of the pump.
OR
The measurement process described above may be repeated for different rotary speeds of the motor 14.
Fig. 2 illustrates results of measurements that have been made at three different rotary 30 speeds nl, n2 and n3. A pressure P as measured by the pressure sensor 36 has been graphically shown here as a function of the rotary speed n. In the example shown, the
three measurements at three measurement points confirm that a linear relation exists between the pressure and the rotary speed.
Depending upon the design and the condition of the pump and on the physical proper- ties of the medium pumped, a non-linear relation, e.g. an exponential relation, may exist between the pressure and the rotary speed. Different causes for leakage in the pump will have different effects on the curve that describes the relation between pressure and rota ry speed, and by examining the shape of this curve, it is possible to obtain hints on pos sible causes for the leakage.
The control and evaluation device 38 may also be programmed such that the leakage measurement is performed automatically in certain time intervals, wherein the exact timing of the measurement may be dependent upon the demand of the consumer 32. The measurement results may be recorded automatically, printed and/or transmitted via a wireless link to a smartphone of an operator. Likewise, an alarm may be triggered au tomatically in cases in which the volumetric efficiency has become unacceptably low.
