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 ρ g h / 3.6 106 (1)

where

Ph = power (kW) Ph = 15.805 kW ==> 21.19485

q = flow capacity (m3/h) q= 116 (m3/h)

ρ = density of fluid (kg/m3) ρ= 1000 (kg/m3)

g = gravity (9.81 m/s2) g= 9.81 (9.81 m/s2)

h = differential head (m) h= 50 (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 pu

Ps = Ph / η (2) Ps = 22.57857 kW 30.27836 hp

where η= 0.7

Ps = shaft power (kW)

η = pump efficiency
