Key Features

• Dynamometer that fi ts on the Centrifugal Pump Module to test the optional turbines
• Electrically powered from outlets on the Universal Dynamometer motor drive
• Measures and displays torque, speed and shaft power
• Can connect to Versatile Data Acquisition System (VDAS®)

Description
The Turbine Dynamometer is required for tests on the optional turbines. It fi ts on the Centrifugal Pump Module, near the outlet end of the centrifugal pump. You fi t any of the three optional turbines to the Turbine Dynamometer. Each turbine has a brake drum that fits inside the dynamometer.

You connect the outlet of the centrifugal pump to your turbine. As the pump forces water through the turbine,you use a control on the Turbine Dynamometer toadjust a band brake. This loads the turbine. The Turbine Dynamometer and its instrumentation then measures and displays the speed, torque and shaft power available at the dynamometer. The Turbine Dynamometer instrumentation fi ts above the dynamometer, in the Instrument frame of the Centrifugal Pump Module. It has a socket for connection to optional VDAS.
