Submersible Pump Test Rig
Description:
- The set-up consists of a submersible pump coupled with a DC Motor.
- A ball valve is used to adjust the head.
- An asynchronous motor drives it.
- The speed is infinitely adjustable by using a frequency converter.
- A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Pump.
- Flow of water is measured by using measuring tank and stopwatch.
- Vacuum gauge is fitted on suction line and Pressure gauge is fitted on delivery line to measure the pressure.
- The experimental unit includes a self-priming Submersible pump, a ball valve on the outlet side and manometers on the inlet and outlet side.
- Power input to the DC Motor is varied by means of a Thruster controlled DC Drive to vary the RPM of motor.
