Centrifugal pump test rig variable speed

Centrifugal pump test rig variable speed

MODEL: MB-117

DESCRIPTION:-
The apparatus should be a self-contained unit operated on close circuit basis containing a sump tank. The setup should consist of a centrifugal pump coupled with a DC motor. Power input to the DC motor should varied by means of thyristor controlled DC drive to vary the RPM of motor. A RPM indicator with proximity sensor indicates the RPM of pump. Flow of water should be measured by using measuring tank and stop watch. Vaccum gauge should be fitted on suction line and pressure gauge should be fitted on delivery line to measure the pressure

EXPERIMENTS:-
Ø To determine total head, pump output, overall efficiency and pump efficiency of the centrifugal pump.
Ø To plot head vs discharge, pump efficiency vs discharge , pump output vs discharge
