Technical Solution for Remote Condition Warning and Predictive Maintenance System for Centrifugal Pumps  
Release Date: 2026-08-06  
Produced by: Jiangsu Haifa Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd (A restructured enterprise from the 1958 Ministry of Metallurgy legacy brand, Dun & Bradstreet internationally certified, with over 60 years of R&D and manufacturing expertise in API 610 standard industrial pumps, dedicated to the development and implementation of intelligent monitoring, fault warning, and predictive systems for process pumps)

As petrochemical, coal chemical, nuclear power, phosphorus chemical, and other process industry installations scale up and operate in extended cycles, enterprises continue to raise requirements for the continuous operational reliability of pump equipment and the stability of production safety. Traditional maintenance models relying on manual periodic inspections and fixed-interval shutdown maintenance face challenges such as delayed fault prediction, over-maintenance, missed detections, and false detections, making it impossible to accurately identify hidden faults such as progressive mechanical seal wear, early bearing fatigue, dynamic rotor anomalies, and pump cavitation—frequently leading to unplanned shutdowns and safety hazards. To address the pain points of harsh operating conditions in process industries, Jiangsuifa has independently developed a remote condition warning and predictive maintenance system for centrifugal pumps based on high-precision intelligent sensing, computing, and multi-source data fusion AI algorithms. The system breaks away from traditional passive maintenance models, enabling real-time perception of pump unit operating status, precise identification of early faults, dynamic analysis of degradation trends, and intelligent push of maintenance strategies, providing an intelligent, visualized, and quantifiable complete solution for the full-lifecycle stable operation of industrial centrifugal pumps.

I. Overall System Architecture and Multi-Source Data Acquisition

1.1 Layered Architecture Design  
This system adopts a four-layer standardized architecture of "Perception Layer Transmission Layer – Computing Layer – Application Layer," adapted to complex industrial site environments, featuring anti-interference capability, high compatibility, latency, and ease deployment. It can seamlessly interface with both existing and newly installed centrifugal pumps without requiring large-scale modification of on-site equipment.

1.2 Full-Dimension Operating Parameter Acquisition  
Centered on core vulnerable components such as bearings, mechanical seals, rotor systems, and pump casing piping, a multi-source signal acquisition system is established. Core monitoring parameters include: mechanical seal area temperature (acquisition accuracy ±0.5°C), three-axis vibration of bearing housing (acceleration frequency response range 0.5Hz–10kHz), pump casing temperature, seal leakage status, equipment operating flow rate, rotational speed, and other critical data. The system is equipped with high-frequency acquisition sensors supporting a maximum sampling rate of 1kHz with front-end integrated signal filtering, anti-aliasing processing, and outlier rejection functions to effectively filter electromagnetic and process fluctuation interference at industrial sites. Acquired data is stably transmitted via Ethernet to the edge computing unit, where baseline drift correction, feature parameter extraction, and data classification and archiving are completed, dynamically building a pump-unit-specific operating database to provide precise data support for AI fault diagnosis and trend prediction.

II. Core Algorithm Logic and Multi-Fault Coupled Diagnosis Technology

2.1 Core Principle of Temperature-Vibration Linked Fusion Diagnosis  
Targeting the most frequent early failure mode of centrifugal pumps—mechanical seal—the system uniquely develops a temperature + vibration dual-signal coupled diagnosis model, thoroughly resolving the industry pain points of high false alarm rates and delayed fault prediction in single-sensor monitoring. When the lubricating film on the seal face is damaged, dry friction wear occurs, or localized abnormal impacts arise, the equipment simultaneously generates millisecond-level temperature rise pulses and high-frequency vibration impact signals. The system performs dual-dimension signal linked verification to precisely lock onto early faults.

2.2 Multi-Dimensional Signal Processing Algorithm System  
At the vibration signal processing level, the relies on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis and envelope demodulation techniques to precisely separate high-frequency impact characteristics generated by bearing fatigue, seal wear, and rotor misalignment, while stripping normal operating frequency interference. At the temperature analysis level a sliding window residual algorithm is employed to eliminate slow fluctuations in process medium temperature and precisely capture localized abnormal temperature rise spikes. Through time-domain cross-correlation analysis, the system verifies the synchronization between temperature peaks and vibration impact signals. When the time difference between the two types is less than 200ms and simultaneously exceed safety thresholds, an early seal friction fault is determined, controlling the overall system false alarm rate within 5%.

2.3 Full-Fault Parallel Identification Capability  
Beyond mechanical seal faults, the leverages multi-dimensional algorithms including spectrum sideband analysis, operating frequency amplitude tracking, and temperature rise rate comparison to identify in parallel typical pump unit faults such as bearing wear and aging, rotor unbalance, coupling misalignment, pump cavitation, and base loosening, covering over 95% of high-frequency fault scenarios for centrifugal pumps in process industries.
