The equipment comprises a water reservoir, and five pump positions (four active). Each pump position uses pipework and sensors optimised to the type of pumps it is intended for. Positions 1, 2a and 2b are optimised for high flows at low heads, such as the rotodynamic pumps, whereas positions 3 and 4 are suitable for lower flows but higher pressures, as obtained from the positive displacement pumps. Positions 2a and 2b are mutually exclusive as they share the same motor drive. Switching between any of the four installed active pumps, (or series/parallel configuration) is simple, requiring only isolating valve changes and control panel selection.

Capabilities:

• Determining the effect of speed on the performance of pumps
• Understanding the difference between rotodynamic pumps and positive displacement pumps
• Understanding the effect of system resistance
• Investigating the effect of suction losses on a centrifugal pump
• Demonstration of the effect of running two centrifugal pumps in series and parallel
• Understanding the characteristics of a reciprocating pump

Technical Details:

• A brass-bodied centrifugal pump with plastic impeller and stainless steel shaft. Maximum flow 137 l/min and maximum head 9m.
• A second centrifugal pump, identical to C3-MkII-20, includes the additional valves required to perform a series/parallel pump demonstration.
• A corrosion-resistant bronze-bodied gear pump, with stainless steel shafts and bronze helical gears for quiet operation.
• Maximum flow 13.7 l/min and maximum head 60m (limited by system relief valve).
• A purpose-designed axial flow pump, housed in a clear acrylic casing.
• Maximum flow 100 l/min and maximum head 1.8m.
