Hydraulic Pump Power

The ideal hydraulic power to drive a pump depends on the mass flow rate, the liquid density and the differential height

either it is the static lift from one height to an other, or the friction head loss component of the system - can be calculated as Ph = q g h / (3.6 106) where Ph = power (kW) q = flow capacity (m 3 /h) = density of fluid (kg/m ) g = gravity (9.81 m/s 2 ) h = differential head (m)

Shaft Pump Power

The shaft power - the power required transferred from the motor to the shaft of the pump - depends on the efficiency of the pump and can be calculated as Ps =Ph / where P s = shaft power (kW) = pump efficiency Default Value 30 1000 9.81 62 0.6 q - flow capacity (m3/h) - density of fluid (kg/m3) g - gravity (m/s2) h - differential head (m) - pump efficiency 1000 9.81 0.6 (2)
