Centrifugal Pump Test Rig (Variable Speed)

Centrifugal Pump Test Rig (Variable Speed)

The present Centrifugal Pump Test Rig isa self-contained unit operated on closed circuit basis containing a sump tank.

Theset-up consists of a Centrifugal pump coupled with a DC Motor. Power input tothe DC Motor is varied by means of a Thyristor controlled DC Drive to vary theRPM of motor. A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Pump.Flow of water is measured by using measuring tank and stopwatch. Vacuum gaugeis fitted on suction line and Pressure gauge is fitted on delivery line tomeasure the pressure.
