8. HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

This course is designed for individuals who possess a general technical background in pump engineering and are interested in learning about centrifugal pump hydraulic design. Whether you are a trainee hydraulic designer or an experienced professional looking to enhance your skills in pump engineering, this course will provide you with valuable insights into the factors that need to be considered in pump hydraulic design.

Course Description

This comprehensive course covers the principles of pump hydraulic design through a combination of presentations, exercises, and practical examples. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the hydraulic design process, including the factors that influence pump performance, such as impeller design, volute design, and system characteristics.

This course is unique in that it is typically delivered on-site to companies for whom hydraulic design is an integral part of their product range. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with experienced trainers and gain valuable insights into industry best practices.

Prior attendance of Pumping Fundamentals or a good understanding of pump basics is a prerequisite for this course. On completion, students will have the knowledge and skills needed to contribute effectively to pump engineering and hydraulic design projects.

AFTER THE COURSE STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE:

• Gained an understanding of the basic principles of centrifugal pump hydraulic design

• Understand pump performance and the influence of key design parameters

• Be able to evaluate hydraulic aspects of centrifugal pump design

• Assist with pump range planning & development
