Resumen

The study on “Hydraulic evaluation of the seawater pumping system towards the white shrimp Litopenaeus Vannamei proge-nitor bank in the UEB Yaguacam” comes from considering that the pumping equipment represents 35 % of the total energy consumption, and that in this case a pump of 53 kW of power is manipulated that is used 11 hours a day. For this, technical characteristics of the pump and the piping system were investigated, and the operating point was defined at 340 m3/h for a load of 22,97 m, an efficiency of 65,9 % and a useful power of 21,26 kW. Using the PCE-TDS 100 ultrasonic flowmeter, the magnitude of the unwanted leaks was determined, which generate average loss of 9,9 % of the pumped water; which repre-sent an energy impact of 21 133,5 kWh/year.
