Projeto de uma bancada de ensaios para bombas centrífugas

Abstract

The pumps were part of the construction of the technological scenario that we live today. There are numerous types of pumps, for the most diverse purposes, among them the centrifugal pumps stand out, as they apply to different processes, attending to the low and high flows. The tests of pumps in general, are very important for the characterization of the same, made from the lifting of their curves, which are fundamental in the process of choosing a pump. This work aims to design a bench that meets the needs of characterization of a centrifugal pump built in the city of Santarém-PA, raising data of flow, drive power, efficiency and manometric height, essential variables for lifting curves, besides attending the needs of practical classes on the subject at the Federal University of the West of Pará (UFOPA). For the execution of the project, an initial characterization of the pump was carried out, a fundamental step for the selection of the equipment that would fit the characteristics of the pump, taking into account that the capacity of the pump was sufficient for future bench improvements, such as the project improvements to the pump studied and the construction of more efficient pumps. Finally, it was used AutoCAD software, where the bench was designed with all the necessary equipment and accessories.
