“Salt deposition in a centrifugal pump under intermittent operation” is the first article to address the cause of failures among electric submersible centrifugal pumps operating intermittently. The causes of said failures are analyzed. The failure of electric submersible centrifugal pumps is caused by their temperature behavior during operation. The problem of the thermal condition of a centrifugal pump under intermittent operation must be solved. Moreover, the number of failures caused by salt deposition or the electric resistance drop of the “cable – motor” system can be reduced.
