1. During 2 day on EBARA workshop which held on 8 to 9 June 2017, I have learned
about :
- Classification of pumps
- Essential of pump Technology and cavitation
- Determination of pump requirement
- Application in water works
- Operation and control of water works pump
- Comparison of energy consumption
- Water supply pump unit ( donated pump unit)
And about the new things that I have learned is: I have known clearly about:
2. Explain the various methods to control flow rate and compare their electrical
consumption in water pumping system. There are several methods used to control flow
rate:
- Valve control: This is generally the lowest cost and most popular
method of controlling the flow rate of a pump, but it is seldom the most
efficient. Control valves reduce the pump flow rate by increasing the system
pressure drop, and therefore forcing the pump to operate further back on its H-
Q curve. The pressure drop and energy cost for a control valve can be sizable,
especially with high usage, or high specific speed pumps (where the power
consumption increases with reduced flow).
Thus: The Variable speed control method is the best method when we compare the
flow rate with consumption electricity

15.0 40.0
10.0 25.0

5.0 10.0
Follow the graph above the rate flow at delivery is equal to flow rate at
operation point is Q=19L/s because rate flow input equal rate flow output.
