Three (3) Component Cooling Water (CCW) pumps, IR 8X18SE, appeared to have been operated beyond their original manufacturer pump curves without proper justification and analysis. The testing was performed to determine exactly where the pumps were operating relative to the original head-capacity curve, at different system demands. Additionally, the results would be compared to the customers flow and pressure measuring capabilities.
