H32 Pump Test Set (Series/Parallel)


Features
Description

This apparatus has been designed for use with existing H1 and H1d Hydraulic Test Benches, as a low cost demonstration of pump performance in a series and parallel configuration. The apparatus is mounted in a self contained modular frame and comprises two similar dual speed centrifugal pumps interconnected by an arrangement of pipes and valves which can be arranged so that the performance of a single pump, two pumps in series or two pumps in parallel can be determined. Delivery pressure is measured on a Bourdon gauge and flow rate is measured using the H1 or H1d Hydraulic Bench.

Supporting Teaching Material

The manual provides all relevant theory, experimental procedures and sets of typical results.

Range of Experiments

1. Performance of single centrifugal pump.

2. Parallel operating characteristics of two similar pumps.

3. Series operating characteristics of two similar pumps.

4. Parallel operating characteristics of two pumps operating at different speeds.

5. Series operating characteristics of two pumps operating at different speeds.

Specification

Two speed twin centrifugal pump apparatus for demonstrating the performance of a single pump, two pumps in parallel and two pumps in series. Designed for use with the H1 and H1d Hydraulic Benches, the system is mounted in a self-contained modular frame and is easily switched from one configuration to another by opening and closing valves in the interconnecting pipe work.

Ancillaries

None

Tender Specification

A mobile unit, mounted in a self contained modular frame, comprising two similar single phase centrifugal pumps, interconnected by an arrangement of pipes and valves. The interconnecting pipe and valve assembly allows the performance of a single pump, two pumps in series or two pumps in parallel, to be determined. The unit has been designed to be used with a Hydraulics Bench and is floor standing alongside the bench when in use. Requires a 220/240V 50/60Hz single phase or a 220/240V 50/60Hz two phase supply, total power consumption being 250W max. The overall size of the unit should be no more than 500 x 500 x 700m.

Equipment to be supplied with a two year parts and labour warranty.
