Abstract

A system for the analysis of centrifugal pump performance was developed to demonstrate overall pump characteristics across a test set of various speed, flow and head conditions. The main unit consisted of a pumping system of a pipe, motor dynamometer, inverter, rotary flow meter, measuring tank, tachometer and a centrifugal pump. Suction and discharge pressure were measured by gauges, mounted on a panel. A wheeled frame supported the main unit and a main storage water tank. The unit provided a means of evaluating the effects of several variables on pump performance. The overall performance characteristics of a centrifugal pump obtained with this method were consistent and replicable.
