Description
This is a self contained unit for studying the series and parallel pump characteristics.
The unit consists of two sets of centrifugal pump and motor, a storage tank, and measuring instruments. Speed control is by two advanced inverters. By manipulating flow control valves, each pump can be operated individually or both pumps connected in series or parallel. The unit is on wheels.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
- Flow rate vs head at various speeds for individual pump.
- Flow rate vs head at a fixed speed for two pumps connected in series or parallel.
- Power input, output and true efficiency at various speeds for individual pump and two pumps connected in series or parallel.
