Four pumps redundantly supply cooling water to a system. All four pumps underwent maintenance during a recently scheduled downtime. During preliminary evaluation following maintenance, one pump, the subject of this document, exhibited higher vibration levels compared to the other three pumps. The pump underwent further performance testing to rule out potential damage resulting from the higher vibration. Vibration analysis and modal analysis including steady state spectrum, operational deflection shape, run up transients, and modal impact have been utilized to identify dynamic characteristics that could contribute to the increased vibration levels. This article will cover the testing setup, methodology, analysis results, and recommendations.
