  4. Abstract:
  5. This paper gives the final Solution for vibration reduction in a centrifugal pump. Vibration measurement in different conditions has been carried out in order to find the main reason for excessive vibration of the pumps. In the first stage several parameters including cavitation, not working in the pump design condition and mechanical and electrical faults assumed to be the reason for the pump vibration. By vibration analysis it is found that the major reason for the pump vibration is working in off design conditions. More over dissolved air in the suction fluid can possibly cause two-phase flow leading to the pump vibration. For solving both problems considering pump performance curves it has been suggested to use a speed controller to reduce pump speed
