The report says: "Calibration peristaltic pump: [... ]
The pump looks to be the same yellow pump used before.
He gives the pump model, at the end of the paper:
* Peristaltic pump NSF
Model # CEP183-362N3
Serial # 060550065
Max output 12.0 liters/h
Max press 1.50 bar
Note particularly that he says it's a /peristaltic/ pump, not a
displacement pump. Could that make the actual flow rate less predictable?
Max flow rate of 12 l/h matches what Rizzi said, below (if I understood
what he meant).
BTW I love this quote from the paper:
"Supposedly this Ecat needs 10
minutes of full power electric input after every 30 minutes of self
sustaining operation, for stability reasons, in the worst case."
So, to keep it from overheating, every 30 minutes you need to plug it in
again and heat it up some more.
If so it should produce 2 ml per click (stroke)? See Mattia Rizzi's
notes below. At 2 ml per stroke the device would have been pumping at
the rate of (2 ml/clk)/(1.225 s/clk) = 1.63 ml./s = 97.8 ml/min = 5.87
kg/hr = 5.87 liters/hr.
The pump should be pumping at 1.63 gm/s vs the 4.39 gm/s it was
measured as pumping in the beginning?? Probably not.
That must be a different pump than the one to which Mattia Rizzi
refers below. The 15.8 liters per hour measured in initial
calibration is larger than the 12 liters per hour maximum Mattia
specifies for the 2 ml/stroke pump.
I any case, it appears we do not know what the actual input water flow
rate was during the latter part of the test. It would be known from
the sound track if we know the ml per stroke of the new pump. It it
is the old pump, then something is amiss in the calibration to get a
flow rate above the 100 stroke/min flow rate?

It's a dosimetric pump.
In every stroke it can inject a maximum volume of 2ml of water
(volume is regulable)
It's regulable from 20 to 100 strokes/minute.
So with a 100 strokes/min and a volume of 2ml, the pump is running
witha flow of 12 liter/h.
With 25 strokes/min, the pump is running up to 3liter/h (but it can
be lower since volume is adjustable).
