Pump Load Testing Services

However, the pump­ing ca­pa­city de­creases over the years. This de­teri­or­a­tion may be caused for ex­ample by de­fect­ive or con­tam­in­ated com­pon­ents.

If your ex­ist­ing pump is no longer able to op­er­ate at full ca­pa­city, this may have an im­pact on the func­tion­ing of your en­tire sprink­ler sys­tem. 

Please con­tact us if you are not sure that the re­quired pump­ing ca­pa­city is en­sured. We will carry out a com­pre­hens­ive pump load test and cla­rify mat­ters.

Solu­tion

To as­sess the pump­ing ca­pa­city, a ser­vice tech­ni­cian will meas­ure the flow rate and con­vert the meas­ure­ments in re­la­tion to the dis­charge pres­sure. If un­usual de­vi­ations from the set course occur in the res­ult­ing pump per­form­ance curve, the pump will be checked sys­tem­at­ic­ally based on vari­ous cri­teria to un­am­bigu­ously de­term­ine the cause for the de­vi­ation and rem­edy it.

The pos­sible causes of error for a de­vi­at­ing pump per­form­ance curve are man­i­fold. If, for ex­ample, the ini­tial pres­sure is too low, the im­peller of the pump may be the source of the fault. If a sud­den drop in the pump curve is re­cor­ded, a for­eign body may be present in the suc­tion line. 

Ir­re­spect­ive of the nature of the fault, it is im­port­ant to de­tect the cause early and to rem­edy it without delay. In the event of a fault our ser­vice tech­ni­cians will pro­pose the ne­ces­sary meas­ures to re­store the per­form­ance of the pump. Re­store the func­tional safety of your sprink­ler sys­tem in col­lab­or­a­tion with us.
