Description

Centrifugal pumps are turbomachines that are used for conveying fluids. In centrifugal pumps, the head depends on the flow rate. This dependency is understood to be the operating behaviour of the pump and is represented in the characteristic diagram of the pump.
The trainer is intended for experiments on the fundamental behaviour of a hydraulic circuit. It is suitable for both training in vocational colleges and for laboratory experiments in higher education.
The equipment of the trainer includes a closed water circuit and a powerful, standard centrifugal pump. Standard pumps are built according to industrial standards. The standard defines rating schemes and key dimensions so that standard pumps from different manufacturers can be exchanged without replacing the piping and ground plate.
