Multi-fault Condition Monitoring of Slurry Pump with Principle Component Analysis and Sequential Hypothesis Test

摘要

A new method about the multi-fault condition monitoring of slurry pump based on principal component analysis (PCA) and sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) is proposed. The method identifies the condition of the slurry pump by analyzing the vibration signal. The experimental model is established using the normal impeller and the faulty impellers where the collected vibration signals were preprocessed using wavelet packet transform (WPT). The characteristic parameters of the vibration signals are extracted by time domain signal analysis and the dimension of data was reduced by PCA. The principal components with the largest contribution rate are chosen as the inputted signal to SPRT to assess the proposed algorithm. The new methodology is reasonable and practical for the multi-fault diagnosis of slurry pump.
