Experimental Study of Wind Driven Scroll Pump

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes the feasibility study of wind driven scroll pump for wind energy application using in Thailand to design, fabricate and test. The testing set was adapted by the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS B 8301) to define the relationship of pressure and flow rate curve (H-Q Curves), the relatioship of flow rate and pump speed , and the volumetric flow rate. The results presented the pressure and flow rate which showed the inverse variation in linear equations. The speed of the pump and flow rate were direct variation in linear equations. The maximum flow rate was 20.23 liters/minute in the speed of 714 RPM which fully opened valve. The average of volumetric efficiency was 89.55%.
