COMPACT MULTI PUMP TEST SET, Inverter Speed Control.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This is a compact self contained set for studying the characteristics for various types of pumps.
The unit consists of four different types of pump namely-centrifugal, turbine, reciprocating and axial flow pumps and a common storage tank, measuring instruments. Speed control is by an advanced inverter. By manipulating flow control valves and a selector switch, each pump can be operated individually. The unit is floor standing with removeable supports.
