Power Loss due to Shafting :

  • Shaft power losses reduce the effective power delivered to the pump bowls.
  • Shaft power is also called absorbed power.
  • It is the actual power required at the coupling or shaft.
  • This power is higher than hydraulic power because it includes mechanical losses.

Uses :

  • The pump shaft transmits drive torque to the impellers in centrifugal pumps.
  • Used to estimate total motor load accurately.

Formula :

  • Power Loss due to Shafting = Unit Power Loss × Setting from Head Base to Top of Bowls

How to Calculate ?

  • Enter the unit power loss (hp/ft).
  • Enter the setting from head base to top of bowls (ft).
  • Click “Calculate” to get the result.
  • Click “Reset” to clear all values.
