Diseño de un banco de pruebas para las bombas de serie Meganorm, Etaline, Etanorm, Movitec y Multitec de la empresa KSB Colombia para la evaluación del rendimiento hidráulico basado en la norma ISO 9906

Abstract

Pumps, although they often go unnoticed, are fundamental components for the proper functioning of various systems. Their silent but vital role makes them crucial to efficiency, availability and operational reliability. The pump test bench is positioned as an indispensable tool for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), contractors, operating companies and pump manufacturers in general. This component plays a fundamental role in the verification and guarantee of pump characteristics, ensuring their optimum performance and reliability in various applications. This project proposes the design of a pump test bench, whose main objective is to recreate the real operating conditions of the pumps and allow them to be subjected to and allow them to be subjected to performance evaluations. Through this process, it will be verified that the pumps comply with the flow, pressure, power and efficiency standards established by the ISO standard, power and efficiency standards established by ISO 9906. Regardless of whether the pumps are intended for water supply systems, irrigation, wastewater treatment, power generation or any other industrial application, the test bench will ensure that the evaluated pump series operate optimally, preventing premature failures and optimizing processes. The data obtained in the test bench constitutes a solid basis for the certification of pump performance, guaranteeing that the pump series will operate optimally, preventing premature failures and optimizing processes.
