Abstract
During the this laboratory session, a motor-pump submerged under water was the subject of the experiment. One of its purpose is to drain water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir. The motor of the pump is a sealed squirrel cage. This type of motors are chosen due to their robustness and ability to function under water. The pump has five identical stages with components such as centrifugal rotor, a vanned diffuser and outlet channels to avoid vortex. Vortex or cavitation can have severe effects on the performance of the pump, creating bubbles that can reduce the section used by the fluid, even causing fatal damage on the pump. The bears inside the pump that holds different components together, avoiding direct physical contact and friction.
