CENTRIFUGAL PUMP TEST RIG (SERIES, PARALLEL & VARIABLE SPEED)

PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

The present set-up is designed to study characteristics of a given centrifugal pumps of same characteristics when operated in series or parallel mode. The set-up consists of two Centrifugal pumps. Both pumps are coupled with individual DC Motors. A speed control arrangement facilitates the end user to operate the centrifugal pump at different speeds. To calculate the input power to the motor, an energy meter is provided. Two RPM Indicators with Proximity sensors indicates the RPM of Industrial Pumps. Pipeline and valve arrangement provided enables the user to operate the test rig either in single pump operation, parallel mode or in series mode. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank, centrifugal pumps etc. Water is pumped by means of centrifugal pumps and passing through the pipeline, it returns back to the sump which make the system re circulating type. Flow of water is diverted either to measuring tank or sump tank with the means of a flow diverter, when needed. Control valves and Pressure gauges are fitted in suction and discharge line of the centrifugal pump to conduct the experiments on different head and flow. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank with piezometer and stopwatch. The supplied set-up is complete in all respect. Only water supply and electricity supply is to be provided by the end user for running the set-up.
