Spectrum Analysis of Vibration Signals for Cavitation Monitoring
Abstract
This paper reviews the sources of vibration from a centrifugal pump during normal operation and explains how these sources are excited by other factors, particularly the onset of cavitation. It discusses the efficacy of the vibration method for detecting and diagnosing the cavitation in centrifugal pumps using spectrum analysis. Finally, the experimental results of using the vibration method for monitoring cavitation in centrifugal pumps have been presented and discussed.
