Slurry Pumps and their pump power

So, take a look at a few concepts of pump power

1 pump effective power

Effective power, also known as the output power of the pump, is the energy obtained from the pump of the liquid flowing through the pump per unit of time. It has an impact on the efficiency of the pump.

2 shaft power

Shaft power, also known as the pump's input power, is the power transferred to the pump shaft motor. Pump nameplate on the shaft power is corresponding to the design flow through the shaft power, also known as rated shaft power.

3 matching power

Matching power refers to the power of the power machine for the pump supporting, said the motor power.

Pump power can reach how much, look at these cases, may be shocked off your jaw!

1. Ebara submersible pump with 2500kW output power

Ebara Manufacturing (hereinafter referred to as "Ebara") has developed a submersible pump with a maximum output of 3,350 HP (2,500kW), which is a single-stage, vertical-shaft, double-suction pump driven by a submersible electric motor, in accordance with the needs of a pump factory in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The pump is the longest of Ebara's large submersible pumps, with a total length of about 130 meters.

2.57000kW Fuchs CHTA pumps

The CHTA is a heavy-duty, multi-stage, double-casing, guided-vane centrifugal pump for extremely severe high-power applications, especially in supercritical coal-fired power plants without back-up pumps and other applications requiring continuous operation for long periods of time. Millions of hours of successful operation have proven the reliability of the CHTA.

3. Rocket turbopumps for large aircraft carriers

Turbopumps are used to transfer fuel. Simple calculation, Long March 7 first stage about 450 tons of kerosene and liquid oxygen, the 450 tons of fuel to be used up in 187 seconds, that is to say, several engine turbopumps add up to 2.4 tons of fuel to be sprayed per second. If it is a water pump, it this output pressure, you can beat the sea to 5,000 meters in the air.

The turbofan engine, his little two-stage turbine output is tens of thousands of horsepower, if we simply say that the work part, that is, two small turbine, is enough to send out tens of thousands of kilowatts of circulating power.
