NSK
New pump bearings save €28,970 per annum at energy plant
Faced with frequent failures on its centrifugal pumps for water recirculation, a large CHP (combined heat and power) plant in Romania asked NSK and its local distributor to perform an on-site bearing investigation. The outcome identified poor lubrication of the pump bearings as the source of the failures, with NSK recommending the adoption of sealed-for-life bearings featuring DDU seals and high-temperature grease. In total, the move has led to annual cost savings of €28,970, while simultaneously offering a significant improvement in performance.
