Pump repair is necessary to reduce the operating costs of pumping and to prevent corrosion in the pumps. Pump repair may be performed when there are changes in sound of a running pump, abrupt changes in bearing temperatures, and seal chamber leakage of a pump.
During pump repair, the following procedures need to be done:
- Pump packing wears out
- Bearings must be lubricated or replaced
- Mechanical seals need replacing
- Couplings must be maintained
- Motor and pump shafts must be aligned
Pump repair achieves two goals:
- Primary goals: Prevents breakdowns and maintains adequate pumping capacity.
- Secondary goals: Lowers cost to operate and prolongs equipment life.
