Endurance Testing for Service Water Pump
A 48-hour endurance test was performed for a
nuclear power plant when they contacted HydroAire
about conducting a research study. The power plant
engineers wanted to collect data to assess how
long the 1750 HP motor driving their essential
service water pump could continue to operate with
a deteriorating lower bearing. To learn the complete

Performance Testing for Safety Injection Pump
Within a critical 2-week timeframe, HydroAire
helped a nuclear power plant avoid de-rating by
reverse engineering and rebuilding a Goulds
8-stagesafety injection pump rotor. The rotor, rebuilt
with engineered upgrades, was performance tested.
Performance was proven at 1288lbs. pressure –
8lbs. better than the original rotor and 88lbs. above
the minimum allowance. Read the full case study

Air Void Testing for Safety-Related Feed Pump
Hydro's engineers performed 40 air void tests in
10 days for a nuclear power company that had to
prove their Pacific 4” BFIDS auxiliary feed pump
would perform its safety-related service if an air
void greater than 2% passed through the pump.
Hydro’s Test Lab provided a live video feed of
real-time performance data for the NRC to monitor.
