Energy model of electric drive of centrifugal borehole pump

Abstract

A mathematical model of an electric drive of a centrifugal borehole pump is proposed for evaluating its energy consumption in operating conditions. The model is based on the use of minimum set of technical parameters of the pump, presented in the public data of the manufacturer. The correctness of the calculated formulas is confirmed by experimental data provided in the program for equipment search and selection from Grundfos Product Center. Based on the created model, a comparative analysis of the energy efficiency of products from various manufacturers was made. It is proved that when choosing a centrifugal borehole pump of the local water supply system, it is necessary to pay attention to the energy efficiency indicators of electric drive in order to make a final decision.
