Centrifugal Pumps Teaching Equipment

Centrifugal pumps are turbomachines used for conveying fluids. This experimental unit is designed for practical study of a centrifugal pump and for recording its typical pump characteristic curve.

The unit includes a self-priming centrifugal pump, a ball valve on the outlet side and pressure gauges on the inlet and outlet sides. The pump is driven by an asynchronous motor with continuously variable speed through a frequency converter. The ball valve is used to adjust the pump head.

During experiments, the operating behavior of the pump is studied as a function of flow rate and represented through characteristic curves. The motor speed and electrical power are displayed digitally, while the inlet and outlet pressures are shown on two pressure gauges.

The experimental unit can be positioned securely on a suitable base module. The pump draws water from the tank of the base module, while the flow rate is determined volumetrically by returning the water to the measuring tank.

Manufactured by Atico Export with a focus on precision, durability and consistent performance for technical education and practical training applications.
