Pump cavitation simulator

The FP-MF200-CAV simulator is the most advanced trainer in the world for teaching students everything they need to know about cavitation, its common causes, and its devastating effect on a hydraulic system.Much thought went into the design of this training masterpiece. The transparent reservoir, transparent pump suction line, and transparent pump outlet port transmission line are backlit to enhance the stunning visual impact this simulator offers.

Technical Details

Specification
Product code FP-MF200-CAV

Educational Advantages

Designed to demonstrate the following: normal pump inlet restriction, abnormally high pump inlet restriction, abnormally low pump inlet restriction, what occurs when oil is discharged above the oil level in a hydraulic reservoir, what occurs when the pump inlet is too close to the surface of the oil – vortex.

Teach students the following

Physics associated with the operation of a hydraulic pump

How the inlet side of a hydraulic pump works

How design influences the amount of restriction at the inlet side of a pump

Common design “oversights” when designing hydraulic pump intakes

Why it is critical to know what a particular pump’s normal inlet restriction is

What role altitude plays in the operation at the inlet side of a pump

What causes pump inlet restriction to increase to a level that can cause cavitation, the most common cause of abnormally high inlet restriction

What causes pump inlet restriction to decrease to a level that can cause pseudo-cavitation

The most common cause of abnormally low pump inlet restriction

What occurs when flow discharges above the oil level in a hydraulic reservoir

What causes a “vortex” to occur in a hydraulic system

Why it is critical to “trend” pump inlet restriction
