Centrifugal pump test rig (A.C motor)

 Centrifugal pump test rig (A.C motor)

The setup is designed to study the performance of centrifugal pump.

Set up consists of a centrifugal pump coupled with electrical motor, supply tank, measuring tank & pipe fittings for closed loop water circulation. Pressure and Vacuum gauges are connected on delivery and suction side of pump for the purpose of measurement.

The flow rate of water is measured using measuring tank and stop watch provided.

Experiments:

To determine overall efficiency and pump efficiency of the centrifugal pump.

To plot Head vs. Discharge, Pump efficiency vs. Discharge

Features:

Closed loop water circulation
