Average Horse Power of Pumping Sets (As on June 2023)

orsepower (HP) is a power unit used to measure the power output of a pump. It N
indicates the pump's capacity to move fluids and is influenced by factors like flow
Hrate, pressure, and pump efficiency. Higher flow rates and pressures require more
W E
horsepower to properly transport the fluid. Furthermore, in order to attain the same flow
rate and pressure as more efficient pumps, less efficient pumps need more horsepower. It's
worth noting that the required Horsepower varies depending on the specific application S
and the type of fluid being pumped. To calculate the horsepower, the flow rate, pressure, Scale
and pump efficiency are used in the following formula: Kms
0 12.5 25 50 75 100
Horsepower = Flow Rate x Pressure / 1714 x Efficiency
Where, Flow Rate is the rate at which the fluid is being moved, typically measured in
gallons per minute (GPM). Pressure is the pressure required to move the fluid, typically
measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). Efficiency is the efficiency of the pump,
expressed as a decimal value between 0 and 1.
Figure 55 illustrates the average horsepower of pumps in Haryana, ranging from <5 to 25
horsepower. These averages have been categorized into six classes as shown in Table 47. It
can be observed that areas with higher water levels, such as parts of Bhiwani, Charkhi
Dadri, Jhajjar, Rohtak, and Hisar, tend to have lower average horsepower of pumps. On the
other hand, areas falling under the category of ≥ 15 horsepower mainly include Ambala,
Bhiwani, Charkhi Dadri, Jind, Kaithal, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Mahendragarh, Panipat,
Rewari, and Yamunanagar. Approximately 79% of the state's geographical area falls under
the high average horsepower of pumps (i.e., >7.5). The spatial distribution of the average
horsepower of pumps across a large landscape, as depicted in an average horsepower map,
can provide valuable insights for various applications, including pump selection, energy
efficiency assessment, and maintenance planning, and troubleshooting.
