A nationally renowned race team was using a flow bench to measure fuel pump performance. They wanted to determine if they could reduce the power consumption of the pump by further analyzing the precise torque it produced.
An Interface Model T25 High Speed Rotary Torque Transducer was integrated into the pump drive to directly measure the torque required to spin the pump.
Using this data collected from the T25 in conjunction with the pressure and volume measurements of the fuel flow, the race team was able to characterize fuel pump performance vs. drive line torque, and then minimize the required drive power while maintaining the needed pressure and flow for efficient fuel delivery.
