Conference ·
OSTI ID:6968628

This EPRI sponsored Symposium on power plant pumps was held on March 10-12, 1987. Its major purpose was to bring together the appropriate electric utility engineers, manufactures and engineering consultants to interact constructively on the ever important topic of power plant pumps. Nineteen papers, reprinted in this proceedings, were presented at three half-day sessions, organized under the following topics: Utility experience and insights; New developments in pump design; Pump predictive maintenance and performance assessment. A fourth session was comprised of three tutorial lectures covering the following power plant pump trouble-shooting topics: Hydraulics and cavitation; vibration analysis; Expert systems. In addition, a concluding fifth session consisted of five concurrent discussion groups covering the following topics: Feedwater pumping systems; Vertical pumps; Monitoring, predictive maintenance and diagnostics; Pump hydraulics and cavitation; Trouble-shooting resources. Summaries of these discussion group sessions are given in this proceedings along with tabulated results of a symposium attended questionnaire, the list of attendees, the symposium agenda and the list of exhibitors. Twenty-eight papers have been cataloged separately.
