Gear Pump Test Setup Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14109

This experimental apparatus is specifically designed for the performance study of a Gear Pump, a type of positive displacement pump. The setup features a pump with a pair of meshed gears coupled to an electrical motor, operating in a closed-loop oil circulation system, which is the correct medium for a gear pump despite the text mentioning "water circulation". Pressure and Vacuum Gauges on the delivery and suction sides are used to measure the total differential head. The flow rate (Discharge) is measured volumetrically using a measuring tank and an electronic stop watch. The primary focus of the experiments is to calculate the pump's overall and mechanical efficiencies and map its characteristic performance curves.

Objectives: Gear Pump Performance Testing

Objective	Key Metric Investigated	Application in Hydraulic Power
To determine overall efficiency and pump efficiency of the Gear Pump	Overall Efficiency (eta overall), Pump Efficiency (eta pump)	Quantifying the ratio of hydraulic output power to shaft power (pump) and to electrical input power (overall) [1].
To plot Head vs. Discharge, Pump efficiency vs. Discharge	Characteristic Curves (H-Q, eta-Q)	Mapping the relationship between the total differential Head and the flow rate, and how pump efficiency varies with flow [1].
