# Pump System Test Instances and Electronical Pump Catalogues This dataset contains relevant information for planning pump systems. This includes (i) the description of different test cases and their boundary conditions. It comprises (a) the pump system of an industrial cooling circuit and (b) several booster stations for different buildings as well as a test rig. These data are available as two .json files. Furthermore, (ii) electronic pump catalogues are provided. Standardised chemical pumps, pumps for booster stations of high-rise buildings and the pumps of the test rig including suitable frequency converters are described. The description includes the pump types, their characteristic curves and possible purchase prices. A total of 296 different pump types are specified. These data are available as three .csv files. The file ReadMe.md explains the data in more detail, especially the meaning of the individual columns of the .csv files. The data can be used to evaluate planning methods - especiall algorithmically supported methods. For the mathematical optimisation of pump systems, the data of the cooling circuit and the standardised chemical pumps have been used in publication [2] and [3] and the data of the buildings and the test rig have been used in publications [1] and [2]. Further information on the pumps and test cases can be found in these publications. ### References [1] - Tim M. Müller, Philipp Leise, Imke-Sophie Lorenz, Lena C. Altherr and Peter F.

The necessary volume flows in the heat exchangers and/or feed lines are specified and the associated pressure losses are given. Control valves are located in front of most heat exchangers, for which the minimum pressure drop is specified. For each load scenario, a time share (full load, partial load, standby) is specified. A more detailed description of the test case can be found in publications [2] and [3]. ## test_case_booster_stations_buildings.json Design requirements for the planning of booster stations for buildings. Three different real buildings are considered and one test rig (this one with experimental and literature based input data). The specification of the volume flow requirement and the necessary pressure at the sinks of the building is given. The input pressure is set to 0 bar. The data is inspired by real buildings, but does not claim to realistically represent the demand of these buildings. The volume flow distribution, time fractions and pressure loss in the central case are estimated according to publication [4].
