Hi,
I need to replace the engine of a waterpump. The new 50 HP diesel engine can only be mounted on top of the pump. The easiest way to drive the pump would be with two pullies and a belt. The pullies should have the same diameter. The available space is between 3.5" and 5" in diameter for the pullies
Now the questions:
One or two v-belts?
What size of belt, eg type A, B, C etc
What diameter should I choose, smaller or larger?
Is there a online reference for these problems?
Are there any rules of thumb?
Could you also motivate your choice so I learn something from it.
Thanks,
Frederik
