For a pressurised system that circulates cooling water for artificial rubber processing, Riventa utilised its FREEFLOW know-how and Green Pump Index (GPX) benchmarking system to simultaneously monitor 5 pumps. For a hundred and fifty hours, system pressure was measured, along with circulate rate and head mixtures to pinpoint how successfully the pumps could meet the various demands of the system.
Included in the tyre manufacturer’s aims was the need to handle strain goals for the system, which were operating at 4.5 kg/cm2, compared to the contractual minimum supply pressure of 3.8 kg/cm2. Although the 5 pumps had the identical casing, two of the impellers have been considerably totally different and Riventa discovered that by trimming the diameter of three pumps by 3.5%, an 11% discount in stress can be achieved.
By totally understanding the operation of the system and the way the pumps interacted with it, Riventa were additionally in a position to calculate optimum efficiency and make potential GPX recommendations.
At the start of the venture, the GPX index, which signifies the amount of power as a proportion that’s successfully transformed into helpful work by the drive, motor, pump and system, was 54, however after Riventa’s modifications, had improved to a GPX index of sixty four. So, of เกจวัดแรงดันลมราคา of electrical energy consumed by the motor, just 54% of that energy was being successfully transformed into internet hydraulic output power.
