Pump Hydraulic Efficiency

Pump Hydraulic Efficiency is defined as below:



Use formula below to calculate the pump system efficiency:

Pump System Efficiency = Pump Hydraulic Power Output / Motor Shaft Power

Pump Hydraulic Power Output = (Flow Capacity x Head x Density x gravity) / 3.6 x 10⁶

Motor Shaft Power = Electrical Power Consumed x Motor Efficiency


Where:

Flow Capacity : In m³/h (Measured by flow meter Flexim F601)

Head : In m (Checked to the pressure gauge)

Density : In kg/m³ (Measured or checked to the Fluid Density Table)

gravity : 9.81 m/s²

Electrical Power Consumed : In kW (Measured by Power Logger Fluke 1735)

Motor Efficiency : In % (Checked to the nameplate or motor datasheet)
