Multi Pump Test Set: Motor Dynamometer is a self-contained bench top set for studying the characteristics for various types of pumps.

Description

Multi Pump Test Set: Motor Dynamometer. This is a self-contained bench top set for studying the characteristics for various types of pumps.

The unit consists of four different types of pumps namely-centrifugal, turbine, reciprocating and axial flow pump, a common storage tank and measuring instruments. Each pump is driven by a motor dynamometer for measuring TRUE pump input power. Speed control is by an inverter. By manipulating flow control valves and a selector switch, each pump can be operated individually.

Instruction manual is also included.

TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
  • Flow rate vs head at various speeds.
  • Pump input, output, and true efficiency at various speeds.
  • Effect of pulse chamber for reciprocating pump.
TECHNICAL DATA
Pumps ratings:
 – Centrifugal pump with maximum flow rate 80 Lpm and maximum head 18 m water
 – Turbine pump with maximum flow rate 30 Lpm and maximum head 30 m water
 – Reciprocating pump with reduction gear, maximum flow rate 15 Lpm at 300 rpm and maximum head 30 m water
