Abstract

Abstract: To investigate the vibration characteristics of nuclear centrifugal pumps rotor rubbing fault, the mechanical model of rotor rub is established, and the causes, types, and mechanisms of rotor rub fault are introduced. Taking the HAZ50-250 Type Horizontal single-stage centrifugal pump prototype as the object, through a reasonable test scheme, the vibration test and analysis of the rotor under different rub conditions were carried out using the Enpac2500 Dual channel spectrum analyzer, and the fault data of different rub impact degrees were collected. Combining the characteristics of vibration parameters such as time-domain, frequency-domain, and axis trajectory, it is found that the time-domain signal of rub fault shows an obvious "Top Clipping phenomenon." The frequency-domain signal is mainly concentrated in one-time rotation frequency, two times rotation frequency, and a large number of nonlinear high harmonics. The axis trajectory will produce a concave image in the rub direction. In the actual rotor rub vibration fault diagnosis, it is necessary to comprehensively judge the vibration caused in combination with the operating state of the centrifugal pump, the state of the time domain, the frequency domain, and the axis trajectory. Based on the analyzed spectrum characteristics of the rub impact vibration, it is applied to the vibration fault diagnosis case of the centrifugal pump in the power plant, which timely prevents the pump damage and other faults caused by the deterioration of the rub impact fault, and plays a key role in the safe and stable operation of the centrifugal pump. It also provides an important reference for pump design and vibration fault diagnosis of rotating equipment in nuclear power plants.
