Pumping system efficiency
- electric power
- shaft power of a pump
- hydraulic power of a flow at the pump outlet
- pump efficiency
- efficiency of an electric motor
- efficiency of a pump unit (pump+electric motor)
Useful power of a pump is hydraulic power of a flow Phyd
- Watts, hydraulic power
- m3/s, flow of a pump
- m, head of a pump, the difference between suction and outlet head
- specific gravity, m2/s
- density, kg/m3
- kW, this is the simplified formula of a hydraulic power for a water. This formula is more convenient because it uses units of Q m3/h.
- kWatt
- bar, pump pressure, the difference between outlet and inlet pressure
- m3/h, flow of a pump
- pump shaft power
- consumed electric power by the electric motor
- consumed electric power by the electric motor
- overall efficiency of a pump unit (pump+el. motor+drive)
