Abstract

The aim of this work is to obtain a maintenance strategy that is cost effective for centrifugal pumps using reliability centred maintenance (RCM). The components of the centrifugal pump used for the study are the shaft, impeller, bearing, mechanical seal, coupling, shaft sleeve, wear-ring casing, suction flange and discharge flange. The motor that drives the pump was also considered. Two basic tools of the RCM strategy were applied. These are the failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) and logic tree analysis (LTA). Failure data for a period of 10 years about a centrifugal pump was collected and the FMECA was applied to determine the failure modes, the effects of the failure, the criticality of the components, the mean time between failure (MTBF), the failure rate and the mean time to repair (MTTR). The risk priority numbers of all the components were estimated. The LTA was applied to come up with a new maintenance strategy for each of the components of the pump. The maintenance cost consisting of spare part cost and labour cost for the pump components were estimated for the current maintenance practice as well as the new or proposed maintenance practice. The most critical components observed were the motor, shaft, impeller and the mechanical seal. The motor has the highest MTTR value (58 hrs) while the mechanical seal has the highest failure rate (8.06E-04 per hr). The proposed maintenance strategy leads to reduction in spare part cost in a number of components, with the largest reduction of 19.88% occurring in mechanical seal. The proposed strategy also leads to reduction in labour cost in motor, shaft, impeller and the mechanical seal with the values 33%, 25%, 50% and 25% respectively. The methodology could be applied to other devices.
以可靠性为中心的离心泵成本效益维护战略
这项工作的目的是利用以可靠性为中心的维护(RCM),为离心泵制定成本效益高的维护策略。研究中使用的离心泵部件包括轴、叶轮、轴承、机械密封、联轴器、轴套、耐磨环外壳、吸入法兰和排出法兰。此外,还考虑了驱动泵的电机。应用了 RCM 策略的两个基本工具。它们是故障模式、影响和临界分析 (FMECA) 和逻辑树分析 (LTA)。收集了离心泵 10 年来的故障数据,并应用 FMECA 确定了故障模式、故障影响、部件关键性、平均故障间隔时间 (MTBF)、故障率和平均修复时间 (MTTR)。对所有组件的风险优先级进行了估算。应用 LTA 为泵的每个组件制定了新的维护策略。估算了当前维护方法以及新的或建议的维护方法的维护成本,包括泵部件的备件成本和人工成本。观察到的最关键部件是电机、轴、叶轮和机械密封。电机的 MTTR 值最高(58 小时),而机械密封的故障率最高(每小时 8.06E-04)。建议的维护策略降低了许多部件的备件成本,其中机械密封的备件成本降低幅度最大,达到 19.88%。建议的策略还能降低电机、轴、叶轮和机械密封的人工成本,分别为 33%、25%、50% 和 25%。该方法可应用于其他设备。
