This is an invaluable aid in
the effective understanding of the performance
characteristics of a variety of pumps. The electric
motor (AC or DC) is used as a drive unit. The
unit has a facility to measure the power consumed
by the drive, pump speed, flow rate and pressure.
Various types of pumps can be
studied, like centrifugal pump, reciprocating
pump and several others.
Optionally, there is a facility
to vary the speed of the motor to get various
performance parameters for better understanding.
The trainer is complete with
transducers to measure parameters like flow rate,
pressure, pump speed, etc.
The parameters are fed to the
computer via a signal conditioning unit, the interfacing
and communication system along with necessary
power supply.
The acquired data is then analysed
and displayed in tabular/ graphical format by
the software provided.
The software is Windows based
user friendly and menu driven. Facility to print
the data helps students keep a record of their
experiments.
