Series and Parallel Pump Configuration with Variable Speed Control

In complex systems, pumps can be connected in series or in parallel. In serial operation the heads of the pumps are added and in parallel operation the flow rates (capacities) of the pumps are added.

• investigation and operating behaviour of pumps in various operating modes
• single pump, series or parallel pump operation, configurable via valves
• closed water circuit contains centrifugal pumps with drive motor and a transparent water tank
• one pump with variable speed and one pump with fixed speed
• adjustment of flow resistance by a valve at outlet of the pump
• sensors for pressure at inlet and outlet of the pumps and flow rate
• software: option to connect any number of external workstations on the local network to follow and analyse the experiment
• software with control functions and data acquisition via USB under Windows 11
