Test the pump current
Thread Content
In one process, there is a pump with parameters of H=24m, Q=840m3/h; the motor has a power of 132kw, it is a 6-stage motor, and its rotation speed is n=980rpm. Under normal operation, a solution with a specific gravity of 1.32 is used for transporting materials, with a current of 210A. If we are now testing the performance of a pump using water, with all other conditions remaining the same, and we want to determine whether the pump’s operating conditions meet the requirements by examining the current flow, then what should be the current level in the pump when testing it with water? I would like to ask everyone if it’s possible to calculate this; I’d like to learn about it.
Dividing by 1.32 should give a close approximation; I’m not sure what the viscosity of your original material is
