CIRCULATION PUMP TRAINING SET
They increase the mechanical energy by raising the velocity, pressure, and height of fluids. In this experiment set, the total head, efficiency, and characteristic features of the mechanical pump are examined. Pumps can be connected in series or parallel using ball valves. In parallel connection used to increase total flow rate, if two pumps with the same characteristics are used, their flow rates are summed to obtain the total flow rate. The total head remains constant. In series connection used for pressure increase, the total head obtained equals the sum of the heads of both pumps. For flow rate determination, the capacity of the pump with the lowest capacity is considered valid. Therefore, pumps of the same size were used for efficiency, and series connection was applied.
