Abstract

This paper presents a study on parallel coupling operation of multiple pumps. It is known that it is always better to couple pumps with identical characteristics, although practical situations are never ideal, therefore we have taken into consideration the situation where we have available just pumps with different characteristics. A mathematical model has been realized and a Matlab simulation scheme was attached to it. The results were compared with experimental values from the industrial sector. The comparison showed that the model can be successfully used for the parallel coupling analysis of other pumps with identical or different characteristics.
