HM 283 Experiments With A Centrifugal Pump Didactic Equipment Vocational Education Equipment Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment
Determination of characteristic pump variables Features - determination of characteristic pump variables - closed water circuit - software for data acquisition, visualisation and operation - part of the Labline fluid energy machines Learning objectives/experiments - principle of operation of a centrifugal pump - recording of pump characteristics - effect of speed on head - effect of speed on flow rate - determination of pump efficiency - cavitation effects - effect of incorrect direction of rotation Specification [1] functioning and operating behaviour of a centrifugal pump [2] closed water circuit contains centrifugal pump with drive motor and a transparent water tank [3] transparent housing for observing the pump impeller [4] variable speed via frequency converter [5] adjustment of pressure conditions at inlet and outlet side of the pump by valves [6] sensors for pressure at inlet and outlet side of the pump, temperature and flow rate [7] due to integrated microprocessor-based instrumentation no additional devices with error-prone wiring are required [8] display and evaluation of the measured values as well as operation of the unit via software [9] software with control functions and data acquisition via USB under Windows 10
