(EXPERIMENT (PUMP

Connect the computer with SWA1

Than connect SWA1 with sensors on Centrifugal Pump Demonstration Unit (FM20)
:by following this

CHANNEL1 SPW1
Differential pressure orifice plant

CHANNEL2 SPW3
Differential pressure across pump

CHANNEL3 SSO1
Rotational speed of impeller

CHANNEL4 STS1
Water temperature at inlet to pump

CHANNEL5 SWA1
Electrical power consumed by pump motor
:Procedure
1. Make sure that the pump is turned off. Open the pump intake
valve fully. Close
the pump discharge valve. Start the pump and adjust the power
controller to
100% (maximum pump speed). Open the discharge valve fully and
allow all of
the air bubbles to exit the system.

2. Close the discharge valve to correspond to the condition of no

flow. Adjust the
power controller to give a motor speed of 20 Hz. When the readings
as indicated in
the boxes on the diagram at the bottom of the monitor are
sufficiently steady, select
Take Sample. This represents the first point on the characteristic
curve. DO NOT
leave the pump in this condition for very long or the water will heat
up, change the
viscosity and invalidate the results.

3. Open the discharge valve a small amount so there is an increase

in the flow rateas indicated in the boxes at the bottom of the
monitor. Adjust the dial on the power controller to keep the motor
speed at 20 Hz. When the readings are steady, again select Take
Sample. Open the discharge valve in ½ turn increments, adjust the
power and select Take Sample so that 10 to 15 data points are
taken. The final point will correspond to the discharge valve being
fully open.

When sample collection has been completed for a motor speed of .4

.20 Hz

5. When finished turn the power controller to 0%. Turn the power
switch to the console and the power strip to off. Unplug the console
and power strip from their power sources
