The setup is designed to study the performance of Multi stage centrifugal pumps.
Set up consists of a multi stage centrifugal pump coupled with DC motor & drive, supply tank, measuring tank & pipe fittings for closed loop water circulation. There are 2 separate pumps connected to DC motor and drive and can be connected in series and parallel to stimulate different combinations. Pressure and Vacuum gauges are connected on delivery and suction side of each pump for the purpose of measurement.
The flow rate of water is measured using measuring tank and stop watch provided.
