Comissionamento do sistema hidráulico de uma granja de suínos do tipo terminação

Abstract

The present work was developed with the aim of applying the theoretical knowledge learned in mechanical engineering to calculate the most suitable pump for an artesian well. However, this calculation was made based on an already installed pump, and a commissioning of this application was then carried out. Using data provided by the company that installed the pump, such as depth, the pump used, and the quantity of pipes used, together with measurements of the local installations, calculations were made to measure the flow rate of the artesian well and compare it with the value reported by the pump installer. An attempt was made to measure the system flow rate through the system's manometric pressure, but when plotting the pump curve, it was noticed that the pump pressure varies very little with the system flow rate (a "flat" curve type), therefore it was necessary to measure the dynamic level of the well to then calculate the flow rate. The flow rate was also measured through the already installed hour meter and hydrometer on site, which allowed for a comparison of the flow rate calculated using the measured data obtained by the pump installer, and the flow rate measured by the hydrometer and hour meter. Through this comparison, hypotheses were made about what resulted in the difference in results, and criticisms were made regarding the pump installer and aspects that need improvement.
