Know flow and lift how to calculate the pump power?

Answer:

The pump power (kw) ={9.61* flow (cubic meters per second) * head (m)}/.Where ETA is device efficiency, including mechanical, electrical loss and other factors, generally between 55%~80%. The smaller the pump, the lower the efficiency.
P: the density of refrigerant, when the working fluid is water, P =1ETA - pump efficiency, can not find desirable value =0.8N=30x (200/3600) x9.81x1/0.8=20.44 = 20 (kW)(that is, 20kW motors)
N=Q.H.g. P / nN - motor power, kWH - pump head, MQ - pump flow, m^3/sG - gravity acceleration g=9.81
