SERIES & PARALLEL SYSTEM CENTRIFUGAL PUMP DEMONSTRATION

Product Description

Two motor-driven centrifugalpumps, mounted on a stainless steel plinth with a water reservoir and pipeworkfor continuous circulation. The pumps can be configured for single pumpoperation, two pumps in parallel or two pumps in series by using manually operatedball valves. Similarly, manual valves are used to control the flow andfacilitate the study of suction effects, including demonstration of airrelease.

In parallel operation the twopumps draw from a shared inlet pipe of a wider diameter than the pump inlet,reflecting a typical industrial configuration of parallel pumping. Each pumphas impellers that can be easily accessed and replaced without tools. This isdelivered with three impellers in total one with forward curved blades and twowith backward curved blades allowing the students to investigate the effects ofimpeller characteristics.

Electronic sensors measure thepump outlet pressure of each pump the shared pump inlet pressure the flow rateand the water temperature
