How do I model a manufacturer's pump?


This video demonstrates how to add a vendor pump to the Boosters Database and model in a system. It covers two main topics related to modeling a manufacturer's pump. First, it shows how to add the pump's performance curves to the database using a specified impeller diameter and representative flow and head values. It recommends defining the curve for the full quadrant and checking the units of flow. Second, it demonstrates how to model the pump in a system with a database of pumps and fluid properties by inserting a pump node and assigning it to the model. It shows how to customize a chart to display the operating point and system curve and adjust the discharge pipe length to observe the effects on duty pressure rise, efficiency, and required NPSH.
