Centrifugal pump trainer

Centrifugal pumps are turbomachines that are used for conveying fluids. In centrifugal pumps, the head depends on the flow rate. This dependency is understood to be the operating behaviour of the pump and is represented in the characteristic diagram of the pump.

• examination of a standard centrifugal pump
• closed water circuit
• three-phase motor to power the pump with variable speed via a frequency converter
• drive motor with pendulum bearing
• non-contact speed measurement at the engine shaft and force sensor for measuring the drive power
• determination of the flow rate by using an electromagnetic flow rate sensor, or an orifice plate flow meter and a differential pressure measurement
• manometer at the inlet and outlet of the centrifugal pump
• digital displays for torque, speed, electrical power consumption and flow
