About This Product
Students run the two pumps in series or in parallel and plot speed against discharge, head against discharge at various speeds, and efficiency curves at various speeds and heads. Water circulates in a closed loop between the supply tank and the measuring tank, where the discharge is timed with the stop watch. Among the HYDRAULIC MACHINE LAB rigs, this one adds direct torque measurement through a swinging field dynamometer fitted to each pump.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can the two pumps be run in series and in parallel?
Yes. The 2 pumps are connected to a DC motor and drive and can be connected in series and parallel to simulate different pump combinations.
Q2. How is pump torque measured?
Each pump has a swinging field dynamometer arrangement that measures torque directly with a dial type spring balance.
Q3. Which experiments can be performed on this setup?
Speed vs discharge, head vs discharge at various speeds, and efficiency curves at various speeds and heads.
