Analysis of the safety of pumping units of pumping stations of machine water lifting in the function of reliability indicators

Abstract

The article presents ways of analyzing the safety of pumping units of pumping stations of machine water lifting in the function of reliability indicators, taking into account the complexity of analyzing the safety of pumping stations of machine water lifting and presenting the pumping unit of a pumping station as a "system", as well as taking into account the need to attract information about their functional scheme, information about the reliability indicators of the elements included in these schemes, information about the adopted system of maintenance and repair, as well as the criteria for the failure of such systems, structural schemes for calculating the reliability of the pumping unit have been developed. The developed structural scheme for calculating the reliability of a pumping unit is presented, consisting of an electric motor, a pump, a power supply network, a control device, a converter, a machine exciter or a semiconductor excitation system, a winding, active steel, an excitation winding, a collector-brush apparatus, a bearing, guide bearings, an oil cooler, an air cooler of an electric motor, a working ring, guide bearings, system lubrication of pump bearings. Structural diagrams are also given for four variants of the design layout of pumping units: each pumping unit supplies water to its pipeline; several pumping units operate in one common pressure pipeline; the main and backup pumping units are connected in series; pumping units are connected to a common pressure pipeline in series-parallel. Based on these structural schemes, formulas for determining the probability of trouble-free operation of the pumping unit and pumping units, considering their structural layout, are compiled. The article assumes that the uptime of the synchronous motor of the pumping unit is distributed exponentially, and the law of the repair time distribution corresponds to the gamma distribution.
