How is the head of a pneumatic pump calculated?
Thread Content
The gas here has a pressure of 0.5 Mpa. I’m not sure how to determine the pump’s head pressure; is it true that the higher the gas pressure, the higher the pump’s head pressure?
The head of a pump is directly related to its speed; the higher the speed, the greater the head. Personally, I think there is no inherent connection between air pressure and the pump’s head pressure; it depends rather on whether the pump’s speed increases or not.
Is it a diaphragm pump or a rotor pump? For diaphragm pumps, the air pressure should be equal to the head value or a multiple of it; their structure is different.
The general head is the supply pressure minus 2 kilograms multiplied by 10
