Online condition monitoring system helps manage remote pumping station

摘要

The Environment Agency has installed an FAG online condition monitoring system at one of its remote pumping stations in Winestead near Hull to enable its engineers to make key asset management decisions regarding two critical floodwater pumps.rnSituated on the outskirts of the village of Patrington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, the Winestead pumping station is remotely located across the end of a drain. The station houses two 240 kW vertical spindle, axial flow pumps that each transfer 3700 e of floodwater per second back into the river. The pumps were originally commissioned in 1976 and were designed to last for 50 years with major refurbishments in that timescale.
