Centrifugal Pump Test Rig Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Centrifugal Pump Test Rig
The present Centrifugal Pump Test Rig is a self-contained unit
operated on closed circuit basis containing a sump tank. The set-up
consists of a Centrifugal pump coupled with a DC Motor. Power input to
the DC Motor is varied by means of a Thyristor controlled DC Drive to
vary the RPM of motor. A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates
the RPM of Pump. Flow of water is measured by using measuring tank and
stopwatch. Vacuum gauge is fitted on suction line and Pressure gauge is
fitted on delivery line to measure the pressure.
Experimentation:
To determine total head, Pump Output, overall efficiency and pump efficiency of the centrifugal pump
To plot Head vs Discharge, Pump efficiency vs Discharge, Pump Output vs Discharge
