Gear Pump Test Rig
The present Gear Pump Test Rig is a self-contained unit
operated on closed circuit basis containing a sump tank. The set-up
consists of a Gear Pump having a pair of meshed gears, coupled with a DC
Motor. Power input to the DC Motor is varied by means of a Thyristor
controlled DC Drive to vary the RPM of motor. A RPM Indicator with
Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Pump. Flow of fluid is measured by
using measuring tank and stop watch. Vacuum gauge is fitted on suction
line and Pressure gauge is fitted on delivery line to measure the
pressure.
Experimentation:
To determine total head, pump output, overall efficiency and pump efficiency.
To plot Graph: Head vs Discharge Pump efficiency vs Discharge.
