Calculation and Selection of Centrifugal Pumps Course

Why Attend

This course offers specialised courses on Calculation and Selection of Centrifugal Pumps. This course intends to equip attendees with adequate knowledge and skills about the appliance. This training will concern all the principles that involve centrifugal pumps, either in terms of design, operation, efficiency, or calculations of pump specifications based on the properties of fluids and system conditions, and most importantly-the right pump selection for application and obtaining optimal performance with energy efficiency. There will be practical examples and case studies that will examine real-world situations and problems faced in pump selection and application. In the programme of centrifugal pump training, attendees would have acquired adequate skills in selecting and sizing centrifugal pumps for the various industrial uses.

The course includes extensive graphics,  and cut sections to give you a virtual practical exposure to centrifugal pumps.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Objectives:

The objectives of the course Calculation and Selection of Centrifugal Pumps are as follows:

1. Fundamentals of Pump: Having learned the power of centrifugal pumps, it is going to definitely provide depth in their operation, principles, and main components.

2. Pump Performance: The analysis of pump curves and performance data will enable attendees to judge pump efficiency and applicability for different applications.

3. Criteria for Selection: It should teach bases of selection for the appropriate centrifugal pump according to the factors like flow, pressure requirement, and characteristics of the system.

4. System Head Calculation: It would prepare attendees for carrying out calculation of a total dynamic head TDH of the pump systems, putting into consideration losses of all kinds-friction, elevation and velocity.

5. Energy efficiency: The importance of energy efficiency in the selection of pumps and the ways for optimising the consumption of energy have been described.

6. Troubleshooting and Maintenance: Attendees will develop the knowledge to troubleshoot and perform all common service requirements for extending the life and performance of pumps.
