Submersible Pump/ Transfer Pump Capacity

1 Pump Capacity (Qpump)

Pump capacity as peak flow rate (Qp) Pump capacity (Qp)
Qpump = Qp Roof Tank Capacity (TA) = 10 m3
= 15 m3/hour Pump On when 5 m3 roof tank capacity = 5 m3
= 250 lpm Water Filling Time = 0,5 hour
≈ 300 lpm Qpump = 10 m3/hour
= 167 lpm
2 Pipe Diameter
From Pressure loss graphic vs water flow velocity at galvanis pipe (Dwg. 3.62. Kerugian gesek
dalam pipa baja karbon "Perancangan dan Pemeliharaan Sistem Plambing",
Sofyan Morimura, 1991, page 72)
- Flow rate (q) = 167 lpm
- Pipe Diameter = 50 mm
- Friction loss through pipe (f) = 0,07 m/m
- Water Velocity in pipe = 1,25 m/m
3 Pump Head (Hpump)
Hpump = Hs + Hf + Hr
Where
Hs = Pump Level in Shallow Well Depth 50m + Roof tank height from Ground
= 35 + 17 m
Hf = Friction head in pipe
= Pipe length (P) x friction (f)
P = Pipe length (PP) + Fitting equivalent length (Pe)
PP = 70 m
Pe = 7E + 2T + 3GV + 1BV + 1CV
Pe = 7(2.1) + 2(3) + 3(0,81) + 1(8,4)+ 1(4)
Pe = 35,53 m
P = 105,53 m
f = 0,07 m/m
Hf = 7,39 m
Hr = Additional pressure
= 5m

Hpump = 47,39 m
= 50 m

4 Pump Power (BHP)

BHP = HxQ
4.570 x Ep
H = Pump head (m)
= 50 m
= Pump capacity (lpm)
= 167 lpm per pompa
Ep = Pump efficiency
= 60%
BHP = 3,04 HP
Motor power input = 2,27 kW
From Grundfos Brochure SP11-11 MS 402 = 2,2 kW, 3ph, 400v
