SERIES AND PARALLEL PUMP – DEMONSTRATION UNIT DL DKL031
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
-
Start up of a pump, analysis and study of related aspects.
-
Pump priming.
-
Checking the direction of rotation
-
Over current produced in the pump motor.
-
Study and obtaining of the characteristic curves of a pump:
o Height – flow (H-Q)
o Power – flow (P-Q)
o Performance – flow (ƞ-Q)
o Mechanical power – flow (Pm-Q)
o Motor performance – flow (ƞe -Q)
o Electric power– flow (Pe -Q)
o Total performance – flow (ƞ -Q) -
Study of cavitation and obtaining the characteristic curves of NPSH required flow.
-
Study of different ways to regulate a pump.
Checking affinity laws.
This trainer has been designed in order to practice many of the steps involved in the start up, operation phases and necessary regulation in a pump installation.
One of the pumps of the system is controlled by a variable frequency drive, which allows the variation of the rotation speed.
The flow rate is measured by electronic flowmeter.
In addition, it is possible to analyze the characteristics of different types
of pumps such as a single operating, in group, in series or in parallel
configuration performing a wide range of practices and tests.
Pumps are controlled by an inverter, so speeds can be changed and monitored by flowmeter. All control and parameter readings are done by a computer included in the unit, which has automatic or manual data capture. A test can be programmed and the computer can operate automatically modifying the parameters and capturing data.
