Train your Staff Off-line to Reduce Costs

Efficient, effective operation of complex pump systems can lead to substantial benefits:

• reduced damage due to incorrectly assembled pipe-work
• early diagnosis of operational faults such as entrained air or suction line restrictions

But training on real equipment is diffucult, and mistakes can be costly.

Now BHRSolutions is able to offer a desktop pump demonstrator, designed to make the principles of pump operation - and their effects - visible and understandable for engineers and technicians at all levels.

In Use at Huntsman
The first units were supplied to Tioxide Europe Limited, part of Huntsman Corporation, for use in its British operation. Further orders have now equipped Huntsman's operations in Malaysia, Italy, Spain and South Africa.

The Pump Demonstrator packaged ready for shipment

Training Faciltiies

• Recording Head/Flow data
• Injecting air bubbles
• Demonstrating cavitation effects
• Observation of impeller area
• 'Freezing' the action
• Drive shaft misalignment effects
• Condition Monitoring measuement techniques

Additional optional capabilities:

• Drive shaft misalignment - making it additionally useful for training in alignment procedures and basic condition monitoring techniques
• A second pump enables demonstration of the effects of pump changeover etc.

The Demonstrator

The Demonstrator design benefits from BHRSolutions' extensive knowledge of pump testing procedures and requirements.

Measuring only 1m by 500mm by 500mm, it is compact and versatile. The equipment has been designed and supplied for training engineers and technicians in recording Head/Flow data, and to demonstrate how even a little cavitation can effect pump performance.

Gate valves in the suction and delivery lines allow control over the operating conditions. A clear front cover on the variable speed pump allows the operator to observe the impeller area, and the stroboscope supplied effectively 'freezes' the motion to enable observation of air bubbles in the pump.

A valve in the suction line allows air to be injected, whilst the clear plastic pipe work allows the operator to see the effect of any changes in set up.

Special or custom designed units can be supplied to satisfy particular user requirements.
