Pump Power and Efficiency Calculations

Date: February 5, 2024

Time: 1pm ET

PDH Credits: 1.0

Overview

This webinar will detail the definition of pumps and how they consume power. It will detail how pump input power is calculated based on torque and speed measurements, or the measurement of electrical input power.

Learning Level - Basic

This course is designed for individuals who are new to the subject matter. It covers basic concepts, skills, and practices.  Participants acquire a foundational understanding of the topic and develop basic competencies.

This course will cover introductory content, but attendees would benefit from reviewing the Introduction to Pump Fundamentals On-Demand Training Course. 

Audience

This course is perfect for anyone new to the topic including pump system operators, maintenance personnel and new engineers.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion, learners should be able to:

 1. Calculate pump input power from torque and speed measurements

 2. Calculate pump input power from electrical input power measured to the motor.

 3. Calculate hydraulic power (i.e., water horsepower), and the important variables. 

 4. Calculate bowl, pump, motor, and overall efficiency.
