For use with and driven by the Universal Dynamometer
(MFP100), the Centrifugal Pump Module is part of
TecQuipment?s Modular Fluid Power range. The
Centrifugal Pump Module is ideal for student experiments,
demonstrations and projects.
Centrifugal pumps are common machines used to move
water and other fluids in many applications. These can be
domestic water systems, agriculture, sanitation and many
industrial applications.
The module includes a centrifugal pump, a Venturi
flowmeter, valves, a reservoir and instrumentation; all
mounted on a robust, mobile trolley for ease of use. The
separate Universal Dynamometer (MFP100) measures and
displays the speed and torque of the pump to calculate
and display mechanical (shaft) power. Electronic pressure
transducers measure the pump inlet and delivery pressures
and the Venturi differential pressure (flow rate). Speed is
fully variable up to the maximum allowable for the pump.
The centrifugal pump is also the power source for the
optional turbines: a Pelton wheel, a Francis turbine and
Propeller turbine (all available separately). The turbines fit
on the separate Turbine Dynamometer (MFP101a). You
can only test one turbine at a time.
The Turbine Dynamometer fits onto the Centrifugal Pump
Module. The centrifugal pump delivery pipe then connects
to the turbine. A pressure transducer on the Centrifugal
Pump Module measures the turbine inlet pressure. The
turbines and Turbine Dynamometer allow students to test
three different turbines to find how they work and
perform.
When used with an optional stroboscope, students can
?freeze? the image of the moving turbines and water flow
to improve their understanding of the turbines.
For quick and reliable tests, TecQuipment can supply the
optional Versatile Data Acquisition System (VDAS?).
VDAS? gives accurate real-time data capture, monitoring
and display, calculation and charting of all the important
readings on a computer (PC is not supplied).
