Experiments with a Centrifugal Pump

• Functioning and operating behaviour of a centrifugal pump
• Closed water circuit contains centrifugal pump with drive motor and a transparent water tank
• Transparent housing for observing the pump impeller
• Variable speed via frequency converter
• Adjustment of pressure conditions at inlet and outlet side of the pump by valves
• Sensors for pressure at inlet and outlet side of the pump, temperature and flow rate
• Microprocessor-based measuring technique
