Four Industrial Pumps Study Bench

A pump supplies energy to a fluid flow by increasing its head. It is a necessary component of any pipework installation and must be carefully selected to match the network it feeds. Learning Objectives: Study of four water pumps under positive head. Learn about Four Industrial Pumps Study Bench for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. Determination of performance and characteristics: total head vs. flow rate; absorbed electrical power vs. Learn about Four Industrial Pumps Study Bench equipment for optimal educational outcomes.. flow rate and pump speed; efficiency; dimensionless characteristic curves. Study of the technology of each pump. Learn about Four Industrial Pumps Study Bench specifications for optimal educational outcomes..

This bench, designed for closed-circuit operation, is a complete experimental facility for studying the performance and characteristics of four pumps of different designs. With its feed tank it is hydraulically self-contained and requires only an electrical supply.

One stainless steel frame.
One feed tank with drain, two draw-off points, and external level visualisation.
One horizontal centrifugal pump.
One axial pump (progressive cavity type).
One piston pump with pulsation damper.
One turbine pump.
One variable speed drive / controller with speed display, also showing frequency, power consumed, current, and voltage. A selector switch chooses the pump to be studied.
Two rotameters for low or high flow rate.
Three Bourdon pressure gauges: one at suction and two at delivery.
One electrical cabinet for pump control, variable speed drive, and display.
PVC pipework and valves.
