Centrifugal Pump Test Rig (Variable Speed With Swinging field Dynamometer)

Centrifugal Pump Test Rig (Variable Speed With Swinging field Dynamometer)

DESCRIPTION :

The present Centrifugal Pump Test Rig is a self-contained unit operated on closed circuit basis containing a sump tank. The setup consists of a Centrifugal pump coupled with a swinging
frame type DC Motor which permits direct torque measurement with the help of a spring balance. Power input to the DC Motor is varied by means of a Thyristor controlled DC Drive to vary
the RPM of motor. A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Pump. Flow of water is measured by using measuring tank and stop watch. Vacuum gauge is fitted on suction line and Pressure gauge is fitted on delivery line to measure the pressure.
