Abstract
A study is presented to assess the rotor-dynamic implications of running a fixed-speed 14-stage centrifugal water injection pump over a variable speed range for new operational requirements. A rotordynamic model is developed using finite element method (FEM) to study the existing configuration of the pump and to validate its dynamic behavior under the current operating conditions. The model is next used to simulate the pump rotordynamic behavior within the proposed operating range. Critical speed maps, stability analysis, unbalance responses and transients of the system are investigated for evaluating the suitability of this pump for the intended operation.
