Pump Lab

Numerous experimental and research opportunities are available and readily conducted with the Pump Lab System. The installed pressure and flow sensors allow basic experimentation relating to typical secondary physics and undergraduate fluid dynamics courses. Immediate access to the three common pump impeller types permits detailed analysis and experimental verification of energy, momentum and fluid machinery type problems. With the advanced variable frequency drive (VFD) system, concepts concerning efficiency and power conservation are easily explored, including process control via pressure or flow feedback loops and PID gain application.
