PUMP & MOTOR POWER CALCULATION

Data :
Suction Press. Ps : 0.04 kg/cm2.g Diff. Press : 8.96 kg/cm2.g
Discharge Press. Pd : 9 kg/cm2.g Diff. Head : 89.6 m
Volumetric Flow, Q : 150 m3/jam req. Diff.Head : 91.392 m
Specific Gravity, SG : 1
Gravity, g : 9.8 m/s2
Pump Efficiency, η : 80%

1. Water Head Pressure (WHP) Calculation

SG . g . Q. H
WHP = ( kW )
3600
= 37.3184 kW

2. Pump's Brake Horse Power (BHP) Calculation

BHP = WHP/η pompa

= 46.648 kW

3. Motor Power Calculation

Power Rating according to API 610 for motor : 115

Req. Motor Power = BHP x Power rating

= 53.6452 kW

So we should use motor with 55 kW power capacity
