How a Major Nuclear Plant Saved Millions of Dollars by Cutting Pump Overhauls
This eBook dives into a case study at a major nuclear plant that faced significant challenges with its service water pumps, including underperformance, high axial down thrust, and frequent motor overloads. Learn how a holistic pump redesign, featuring Greene Tweed’s AR-HT bearings, provided a powerful solution. Inside, you’ll discover:
- The critical role of AR-HT bearings in improving resistance to wear and dry-run conditions
- How optimized wear ring geometry, high-quality casting, and upgraded metallurgy contributed to enhanced pump performance
- Test results demonstrating the superior endurance of AR-HT bearings under low or no bearing flush conditions
- Data showcasing a 3% efficiency increase and alignment of the pump curve with the hypothetical curve
