The
amount of power required to drive a pump intensifies as the desired pressure and
flow increases. Also it generally
requires a gasoline engine
rated at approximately twice the horsepower of
an electric motor to
get the same performance out of the same pump under continuous operation.
To
figure out what horsepower is needed to operate a pump at a certain, desired
flow and pressure, you just have to multiply the GPM (gallon
per minute) and PSI (pounds per square inch) and figures you
want together and divide the result by 1450 to
come up with the required electric motor horsepower for pumps. To
roughly determine the required gasoline engine horsepower, just multiply the
figure by two.
