Centrifugal
Pumps
Introduction
The IoT platform for IIoT integrated smart pumping solutions
comprise of three significant parts:
• Sensors, including cables and junction boxes
• Data collection device
• Monitoring/analysis software
Why Sensors?
Sensors are an integral component of IIoT solutions.
• The type of sensor you choose will help your
technology partner customize the solution to your
specific business needs.
• Sensors allow monitoring to be done remotely
without any physical inspection.
• Since Centrifugal pumps owing to the nature of their
operation tend to experience variable flow they have
a greater probability of damage due to overheating
and dry running among other causes.
• Due to this these pumps can face long periods of
downtime. However, with real-time monitoring, it is
possible to provide predictive maintenance to avoid
sudden component failure and eventual downtime.
• Real-time monitoring is possible by attaching relevant
sensors to hardware to pick data about vital
parameters of pump operation.
Types of sensors that can
be attached to centrifugal
pumps:
• Temperature sensors: Dry running or low flow can
result in rise of internal temperature of the
centrifugal pump. Temperature sensors help detect
heating in real time as well as analyze operational
patterns that lead to increase in temperature. It helps
to ensure optimal environment temperature
