Multi Stage Centrifugal Pump Test Setup Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14107

This experimental setup is designed to thoroughly analyze the performance and characteristic curves of a Multi-Stage Centrifugal Pump system. The rig features two separate centrifugal pumps coupled to a DC motor and drive, allowing for the pumps to be connected in both series and parallel configurations to simulate different operational scenarios. The system uses a closed-loop water circulation mechanism with Stainless Steel tanks. Pressure and Vacuum Gauges are fitted on the delivery and suction sides of each pump for total head measurement, and a Swinging Field Dynamometer arrangement is used with a dial type spring balance for direct torque measurement of individual pumps. The water flow rate is determined volumetrically using a measuring tank and electronic stop watch.

Objectives: Multi-Stage Pump Characterization

Objective	Key Metric Investigated	Application in Hydraulic Systems
Speed Vs Discharge	Flow Rate (Q) at varying Speed (N)	Determining the influence of pump speed on flow rate capacity (Affinity Laws).
Head Vs Discharge at various speeds	Characteristic H-Q Curves	Plotting the relationship between the total Head and flow rate at multiple operating speeds.
Efficiency curves at various speed and heads	Pump Efficiency ($\eta$)	Calculating and plotting the overall hydraulic efficiency across the entire operating range.
Series/Parallel Operation	System Curve Interaction	Analyzing how connecting pumps in series (increases head) or parallel (increases discharge) affects system performance (Implicit).
