Automobile development test

Outline

The customer requested the performance identical to the water pump that is installed in an automobile. The testing can be carried out by installing the actual engine to the equipment, however, considering the need of temperature control, the use of a heater may give more precise results.
An MPCP stainless magnet pump was used, to take a role of a water pump. The water tank rotates synchronizing the engine.
Stepping on the accelerator pedal cause the pump to increase its speed immediately, to 7000 rpm. Releasing the accelerator pedal drops the pump speed to 1000 rpm.
The combination of a SANWA stainless magnet pump and an inverter successfully reproduced the flow rate required.

Sanwa stainless steel magnet pump allows us to transfer various temperature liquid using a single pump (one model). Previously, a number of conventional seal pumps, that have mechanical seals, were used for transferring liquid that may experience a wide range of temperature changes.

In developing automobile parts, endurance tests are made at various temperatures (heat cycle). In particular, a pump used for the heat shock test system, that reproduces difficult environments is required to endure the same hard environments.

The MAGPAC series pumps offer excellent durability in extreme temperatures, and an SiC-D bearing is employed as standard because it is a wet bearing that promises long pump service life. Therefore, the MAGPAC series pumps contribute greatly to simplify the system and reducing costs.

* SiC-D: Ceramic bearing whose surface is processed to prevent the bearing from breaking in liquid due to operation start up problems (running dry, cavitation) and thermal shock.
