Research on Multi-Fault Identification of Marine Vertical Centrifugal Pump Based on Multi-Domain Characteristic Parameters

Abstract

The marine vertical centrifugal pump is an important piece of auxiliary equipment for ships. Due to the complex operating conditions of marine equipment and the frequent swaying of the hull, typical pump failures such as rotor misalignment, rotor unbalance and mechanical loosening occur frequently, which seriously affect the service life of the marine vertical centrifugal pump. Based on multi-domain characteristic parameters, a fault identification method combining weighted kernel principal component analysis (WKPCA) and particle swarm optimization support vector machine (PSO-SVM) is proposed in this paper. It can effectively solve the problem of multi-fault classification of the centrifugal pump and provide reference for efficient maintenance of equipment. Firstly, a vertical centrifugal pump test bench is set up to simulate typical faults. The collected original fault data are denoised by Kalman filtering. Then, a multi-domain feature set composed of 20 feature parameters was constructed. However, due to high dimension, data redundancy and calculation time were increased. After dimensionality reduction, a fault feature set with 9 feature indexes was established by combining with the WKPCA method. Finally, the PSO-SVM model is used to realize multi-fault identification, and the recognition results of the traditional support vector machine and the genetic algorithm support vector machine (GA-SVM) are compared to verify the diagnosis results and classification performance of PSO-SVM. The results show that the accuracy of WKPCA and PSO-SVM fault recognition methods based on multi-domain characteristic parameters is 1, and it has good convergence.
