The GUNT Centrifugal Pump Trainer is designed for experiments on the fundamental behavior of hydraulic circuits using centrifugal pumps. This trainer is ideal for vocational training as well as laboratory experiments in higher education, providing hands-on understanding of pump operation and characteristic performance.
Product Features
- Centrifugal pumps are turbomachines used for fluid conveyance with head dependent on flow rate, illustrated in characteristic pump diagrams.
- The trainer includes a closed water circuit and a standard centrifugal pump built to industrial norms for easy interchangeability.
- Powered by a three-phase motor with speed adjustable via a frequency converter.
- Non-contact inductive position encoder on the motor shaft records speed accurately.
- The drive motor is mounted on a pendulum bearing, allowing torque measurement with a force sensor to determine mechanical drive power.
- Pressure on the pump inlet and outlet is displayed via manometers.
- Flow rate measured using an electromagnetic flow rate sensor and alternatively via differential pressure measurement on an orifice plate flow meter.
- Digital display shows speed, torque, electrical power consumption, and flow rate on the control panel for easy monitoring.
Benefits
- Enables comprehensive study of centrifugal pump operation and hydraulic circuit behavior.
- Accurate measurement of mechanical and electrical parameters supports detailed analysis.
- Standard pump design facilitates practical understanding applicable to industrial settings.
- Variable speed control allows experiments under different operating conditions.
- Robust and versatile trainer suitable for vocational and academic environments.
