The GUNT Comparison of Pumps Trainer familiarizes students with various pump types including centrifugal, positive displacement piston pumps, and self-priming side-channel pumps. This versatile trainer supports comprehensive study of pump behaviors and characteristics in a controlled, closed water circuit.
Product Features
- Includes two centrifugal pumps, one piston pump (positive displacement), and a self-priming side-channel pump.
- The side-channel pump operates primarily as a centrifugal pump but can also pump gases, acting as a positive displacement pump depending on liquid level.
- All pumps operate in a closed water circuit with performance data and pipeline pressure losses recorded.
- Centrifugal pumps can be operated in parallel or series configurations for extended study.
- Each pump is driven by a separate three-phase AC motor.
- Speed of centrifugal pump motors is variably adjustable via frequency converters.
- All motors mounted on swivel bearings to measure torque via force sensors for determining mechanical drive power.
- A free position with a reversible three-phase AC motor and variable speed is available for mounting additional pumps.
- Experiments enable the demonstration of basic operating behavior of various pump types.
- Operated and controlled via integrated PLC with touch screen for intuitive use.
- Integrated router allows operation and control via end devices over WLAN or LAN.
- User interface supports screen mirroring on up to 10 end devices simultaneously.
- Measured values stored internally on PLC with remote access for data analysis and record-keeping.
Benefits
- Enables comprehensive understanding of multiple pump types in one platform.
- Supports practical experiments on pump operation, including series and parallel configurations.
- Flexible control and monitoring through PLC and wireless connectivity.
- Facilitates hands-on learning in fluid mechanics and pump technology.
- Modular design allows addition of other pump types for expanded experimentation.
