The gear pump kit (FR-006) is a bench top educational unit which is, designed to demonstrate the operating behavior and the most important characteristic variables of gear pumps. The unit features a closed circuit with a tank and a gear pump with variable speed via frequency converter.
- The educational unit demonstrates the functioning and operating behavior of a gear pump.
- The pump gears are mounted in a transparent housing and can be observed during operation.
- The flow rate is adjusted by a needle valve. the head is adjusted by an overflow valve.
- Oil is used as the medium.
- The experimental unit is fitted with sensors for pressure at the inlet and outlet of the pump and temperature at inlet is measured too.
- A flow meter is used to measure the flow of the viscous liquid
- The educational unit is provided with a USB port to be connected to PC.
- The unit control panel includes ON/OFF switch, Gear Pump On/ Off Switch, Emergency Switch, Gear Pump Speed Control Switch, Control Mode selector.
- The educational unit can be operated either manually or with the software.
- The interactive software allows monitoring various parameters of the gear pump operation and observing the characteristic curves generated automatically.
