The GUNT Pump Characteristics Trainer allows the study of centrifugal pump cooperation in parallel and series configurations, demonstrating their differences and practical applications. This trainer offers hands-on experience with dual centrifugal pumps in a closed water circuit and advanced control technology.
Product Features
- Several pumps can be installed in parallel or series for economic reasons; parallel configuration requires pumps to achieve the same head, allowing pumps to switch on/off based on demand.
- In series configuration, pumps with equal flow rates are arranged in a row to bridge large heads cost-effectively.
- The trainer studies cooperation of two centrifugal pumps and illustrates differences in parallel and series configuration.
- Closed water circuit equipped with two identical centrifugal pumps.
- Rotational speed of pump motors adjustable via frequency converters for flexible operation.
- All motors mounted on swivel bearings with force sensors to measure drive torque and determine mechanical drive power.
- Sensors detect pressures at inlet and outlet of pumps for detailed monitoring.
- Flow rate measured by an electromagnetic flow meter.
- Performance data and pipe losses calculated and displayed as characteristic curves.
- Characteristic pump parameters determined from measured values.
- Students familiarize with operating behavior of centrifugal pumps and practice correct startup and shutdown procedures.
- Trainer operated and controlled via integrated PLC with touch screen.
- Integrated router allows operation and control from external devices via WLAN or LAN.
- User interface can be displayed on up to 10 end devices simultaneously via screen mirroring.
- Measured values stored internally on PLC with access via WLAN or LAN for analysis and record-keeping.
Benefits
- Provides practical understanding of pump operation in parallel and series configurations.
- Enables detailed performance analysis using precise sensors and data acquisition.
- Flexible control options enhance learning through remote access and multi-device support.
- Supports hands-on training for correct pump system startup and shutdown.
- Advanced technology integration promotes modern educational and research applications.
