  • 1.  Vertical Turbine Pumps PM

    Posted 05-29-2023 10:56 AM
    Hi Everyone,

    I would appreciate if anyone is willing to share a sample preventive maintenance check list for vertical turbine pumps - rating of 1500HP.

    I’m trying to compliment the existing PM program I’m developing.

    Regards

    What is the service environment for these turbine pumps?  Are they being used for de-watering?  Have you checked with the OEM to get their recommendation?

    My experience has been activity is mostly centered around condition monitoring - vibration analysis in particular.  After that I have typically seen a definitive wear out time frame on the pump - bearings, shaft and impeller so that a target changeout time might be targeted.

    Aside from above, a few other things to check on a routine.

    • Packing adjustments or repacking.
    • Motor lubrication
    • Verifying or resetting impeller clearance on occasion.
    • Could check pump performance (flow, pressure, motor load) to note wear.
