FM-HBA-21 CENTRIFUGAL PUMP CHARACTERISTICS (HYDRAULIC BENCH ACCESSORIES) ​

DESCRIPTION

This accessory comprises a variable speed pump assembly and independent discharge manifold interconnected by flexible tubing with quick release connectors. This auxiliary pump is intended to be used in conjunction with the basic Hydraulics Bench. The auxiliary pump is mounted on a support plinth which stands adjacent to the Hydraulics Bench primary pump, with which it is intended to be used. The pump speed is varied by an inverter drive. The motor speed, output voltage and motor current can be monitored on the inverter display. A compound pressure gauge is mounted directly on the pump inlet and a pressure gauge is mounted directly on the pump outlet. An independent discharge manifold incorporates a pressure gauge and flow control valve prior to a discharge pipe with diffuser.


RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS

  • Determining the relationship between head, discharge, speed, power and efficiency for a centrifugal pump at various speeds
  • Determining the head/flow rate characteristics of two similar pumps operating in either parallel or series configuration at the same speed

UTILITIES REQUIRED

  • Hydraulic Bench
