    abstract = {A novel intelligent centrifugal pump (CP) fault diagnosis method is proposed in this paper. The method is based on the contrast in vibration data obtained from a centrifugal pump (CP) under several operating conditions. The vibration signals data obtained from a CP are non-stationary because of the impulses caused by different faults; thus, traditional time domain and frequency domain analyses such as fast Fourier transform and Walsh transform are not the best option to pre-process the non-stationary signals. First, to visualize the fault-related impulses in vibration data, we computed the kurtogram images of time series vibration sequences. To extract the discriminant features related to faults from the kurtogram images, we used a deep learning tool convolutional encoder (CE) with a supervised contrastive loss. The supervised contrastive loss pulls together samples belonging to the same class, while pushing apart samples belonging to a different class. The convolutional encoder was pretrained on the kurtograms with the supervised contrastive loss to infer the contrasting features belonging to different CP data classes. After pretraining with the supervised contrastive loss, the learned representations of the convolutional encoder were kept as obtained, and a linear classifier was trained above the frozen convolutional encoder, which completed the fault identification. The proposed model was validated with data collected from a real industrial testbed, yielding a high classification accuracy of 99.1% and an error of less than 1%. Furthermore, to prove the proposed model robust, it was validated on CP data with 3.0 and 3.5 bar inlet pressure.},
