Water Pumping Machinery

Description and Function

A water pump is
an electromechanical machine used to
increase the pressure of water to move it
from one point to another. Modern water
pumps are used throughout the world to
supply water for municipal, industrial,
agricultural, and residential uses. Water
pumps also are used to move
wastewater in sewage treatment plants.
Modern water pumps most often are
driven by electricity, but other power
sources also are used—for example,
diesel or gasoline engines. In some remote areas, such as desert regions, solar panels
may be used to supply power to small pumps.

The application mainly include:

 the type of fluid you desire to pump,
  the distance you desire to move the fluid, and
 the quantity you require to get over a particular time frame.

HAND PUMPS
Handpumps, which have been around for centuries,
can provide a cost-effective solution to allow the rural poor
to gain access to clean water for drinking and other
purposes. Handpumps are capable of lifting small amounts
of water from depths of up to 100 meters and allow the water
source to be sealed, reducing the risk for potential source
contamination during water collection (Olley, 2008).
Operation Principle:
Handpumps operate on the principles of fluid
mechanics. Mechanical energy is used to lift the
water from some depth below ground to the surface,
and the water is moved by taking advantage of
pressure differences. The fluid moves from an area
of higher pressure to lower pressure when the piston
is moved up and down. When the piston is moved
upwards, there is a decrease in pressure within the
cylinder. This causes the water to flow into the
cylinder through the foot valve. When the piston
moves down, the water is forced downwards,
increasing the pressure. The foot valve closes, the
piston valve opens, and the high pressure water exits
through the outlet pipe. Therefore, the pressure
within the cylinder automatically controls the
operations of the foot valve and piston valve.

FORMULAS USED DURING CALCULATION AND TESTING:

 PRICES

1. Suction/Piston/Plunger Pump
Piston pumps and plunger pumps are reciprocating positive displacement
pumps that use a plunger or piston to move media through a cylindrical chamber. They
are also called well service pumps, high pressure pumps, or high viscosity pumps
because they can deliver high pump pressures and are capable of handling both viscous
and solids containing media.

Operation:
Piston pumps and plunger pumps use a mechanism (typically rotational) to
create a reciprocating motion along an axis, which then builds pressure in a cylinder or
working barrel to force gas or fluid through the pump. The pressure in the chamber
actuates the valves at both the suction and discharge points.
Specification:
The primary specifications to consider when selecting pumps are flowrate, stroke
volume, pump head, pressure, horsepower, power rating, outlet diameter, and operating
temperature.

Discharge Size Size of the pump discharge or outlet connection.

Media Temperature Temperature of the media being pumped.

The maximum flow the pump is designed to generate. This

Maximum
value is dependent on the system or pressure head the
Discharge Flow
pump must enter.

Maximum
Discharge The maximum pressure the pump is designed to generate.
Pressure
 2. Power Pump
The Rower pump is an inclined version of the suction pump which is operated by
pulling directly on a ‘T’ bar connected to the piston rod. It is called the Rower pump
because of the rowing action used by the operator. The pump has the advantages of
easy action to the suction and piston valves and the relatively cheap cost of
manufacture.
Specification:

Pumping depth (Lift): 0 to 8 m

Cylinder diameter: 54.4 mm

Stroke: variable

Yield: (75 watt input, at 5 m head) ~ 4.5 m³/hour

Population served: 0.1 hectare or 50 to 100 people

Type of well: collapsible tube well or dug well

3. Treadle Pump
A treadle pump treadle pump treadle pump is another type of suction pump
designed to lift water from a depth of 7 metres or less. The treadle pump has a lever
pushed by the foot to drive the pump. Because leg muscles are stronger than arm
muscles, this design is less tiring to use than other human powered water lifters. Most
of the parts can be manufactured locally hence the treadle pump is relatively simple
and inexpensive to build.
 Parts of Treadle Pump

Chain Washer Pump

A chain pump consists of two large wheels, connected by an endless chain. The
bottom wheel is half immersed in the water source. The chain then carries the empty
buckets back down to be refilled and the process continues. Moat or pulley-system: It is
a manual irrigation method.
 Parts of Chain Water Pumps

4. Direct action/Direct Drive/High Lift Pump

These pumps have a piston designed to operate within water and have an internal
pipe that acts both as a piston and as a pump rod. As this is raised the piston valve closes
so that the water inside it is raised and it also draws further water into the pump body.
When the pump handle is pushed down, the internal pipe displaces the water that is in
the pump body so that it flows into the pump ‘rod’ and in so doing water is also discharged
from the pump.
 Parts of Direct Action Hand Pump

Test Procedure:
The basic principle of a pumping test is that if we pump water from a well and
measure the pumping rate and the drawdown in the well, then substitute these
measurements into an appropriate formula and calculate the hydraulic characteristics of
the aquifer.

Rope Pump
A rope pump is a kind of pump where a loose hanging rope is lowered into a well
and drawn up through a long pipe with the bottom immersed in water. On the rope, round
disks or knots matching the diameter of the pipe are attached which pull the water to the
surface.
Various Rope Pump Models
• The AB Model is designed for boreholes (tube-wells).
• The AH Model is designed for hand dug wells and preferably includes a concrete
well cover.
• The Pi Model is sometimes used on hand dug wells on household level.

Main Components of Rope Pump

Specification:
• Pumping Depth (Lift): 0 to 35 m
• Cylinder diameter: (pump pipe) 32 mm for 1 to 10 meters deep, 25 mm for 10 to
20 meters deep and 19 mm for 20 to 35 meters deep
• Pistons: Rubber or HD PE (plastic) pistons spaced at 1 m
• Yield: (50 watt input) at a 10 m head the yield is 2 m^3/hour
• Population/field area served: Maximum of 150 people or irrigation of 0.1 hectare
• Type of well: dug well of 3 meters to borehole of 6 to 20 cm diameter
How it works?
The rope pump consists of a wheel and an endless rope with a small pistons, made
of polyethylene that are attached to the rope at intervals of 1 meter. The piston fit, with a
clearance around 1mm, in the PVC pipe called ‘rising main’. The rope and pistons move
freely down into the well. At the bottom, the rope is led by a guide box into the rising main.
The wheel and the handle are mounted on a support structure on top of the well. The
rope and piston are lifted by the wheel. The water is brought up by the pistons and
discharged at the surface.
Deep-well Diaphragm Pump
This type of pump working principle is as simple as two
valves opening and closing using air pressure to force a piston
back and forth. The flexible diaphragm shrinks and expands
like a balloon, it takes water in the inlet valve and takes it out
in the outlet valve which is connected to a hose which leads
the water to the surface.

Main Components of Deep-well Diaphragm Pump

Specification:
• Range of Depth: 10 – 70 m
• Yield: 0.50 liters/s at 10 m depth ; 0.32 liters/s at 30 m; and 0.24 liters/s at 45 m.
• Useful Life : Eight Years
How it Works?
Inside a cylindrical pump body at the bottom of the well, a flexible diaphragm
shrinks and expands like a tube-shaped balloon, taking the water in through an inlet valve
and forcing it out through an outlet valve. The cylindrical pump is connected to a flexible
hose which leads the water to the surface. The piston is moved by pushing down on a
foot pedal. When foot pressure is removed, the elasticity of the diaphragm forces water
out of it.
Progressive Cavity Pump
A progressive cavity pump is a positive
displacement pump employing a rotor and
stator assembly to create a temporary
chambers to draw fluid into, which
‘progress’ through the pump resulting in the
fluid being expelled through the discharge
port. They are commonly found in waste
water applications for moving viscous slurry
and sludge containing softer-type solids.
Main Components of Progressive Cavity Pump
Specification:

How it Works?

Progressive pumps draw fluid in through a suction inlet which feeds into an
elongated casing. Within the casing are a helical rotor and stator assembly. The rotor
helix is offset to the stator. As the stator turns and contacts the surface of the stator, a
series of small cavities begin to form. The fluid “progresses” through these cavities until
it is expelled through a discharge outlet.

Price and availability in Philippine Market

Progressive cavity pump is currently available in Philippine market with a cost
ranging from ₱30,000.00 to ₱80,000.00 .
Double Diaphragm Pump
A double diaphragm pump is a positive
displacement pump which utilises two flexible
diaphragms that reciprocate back and forth,
creating a temporary chamber, which both draws
in and expels fluid through the pump. The
diaphragms work as a separation wall between the
air and the liquid.

Main Components of Double Diaphragm Pump

Specification:
• Approx. Pump Operating Speed : 66 RPM
• Gear Reducer : Siemens or SEW Eurodrive
• Max. Discharge Head : 50‘ Vertical or 22 psi
• Max. Flow Capacity : 40 GPM
• Max. Liquid Temperature: 140°F (60°C) continuous
• Max. Suction Lift : 20’ Vertical or 75’ Horizontal
• Power Transmission : 2 HP @ 1800 RPM 500 PSI 13 GPM Hydraulic Motor
• Pump Weight (Approx.) : 175 lbs
• Solids Handling : 1.5” Diameter or 50 % by Volume
How it Works?
When you connect compressed air to an AODD pump, it goes into an air motor
which directs the air to push a diaphragm, ‘pushing the liquid out’. The diaphragm
which gets pushed is connected to a shaft which will pull the opposite diaphragm
creating a cavity on the other side, ‘drawing in the liquid’.
At the bottom and top of the two cavities, there are one way valves, often a
ball valve or a flap valve. So when a cavity is closed it pushes the liquid up and out
while on the other side, it opens a cavity sucking in the liquid. This will then alternate
back closing the cavity on the other side and opening the other.

MECHANIZED PUMPS
Automotive Water Pump
Automotive water pump also known as
the coolant pump must drive the coolant and
safeguard the circulation required for heat
exchange. As such, within the heating and cooling
system, it helps the engine to reach optimum
operating temperature quickly, to stay at this
temperature and to avoid overheating. The cooling
system runs from the radiator to the engine and
back to the radiator.

Main Components of Automotive Water Pump

Specification:
Manufacturer : GMB
Brand: GMB North America
Model: 146-9010
Item Weight : 1.6 pounds
Water Pump Material : Plastic
Impeller Material : Plastic
Impeller Rotation: N/A
Product Dimension: 0.09 x 6.02 x 5.39 inches

How it Works?
The fan belt only turns hen the engine is running. At this point the central spindle
of the pump also turns. When the central spindle turns, the paddle-like protrusions also
turn and utilize the centrifugal force, it creates suction. This allows the pump to get water
from the radiator and then sends it to the engine by the hoses. The water then absorbs
the heat being generated by the engine and goes back to the radiator where it is cooled.

AGRICULTURAL WATER PUMP

The agriculture water pump is the most
effective machine for irrigation purposes. They
play a fundamental part in agriculture as they
pump water from the source to the agricultural
field. Pumps can be used for many types of
irrigation, such as drip, sprinkler, and using a
hosepipe.
Various types of fuel operated water
pump machines are available in the market.
Some of the types include diesel, petrol,
kerosene, and electrically operated water pump
 machines. They are chosen based on the budget, land size, water source, power
sources required.
Applications of water pump are Domestic use, Irrigation of farms, Agriculture use,
Submerged pump in Fountains, Wells, Sumps, and Water tanks.

PARTS OF ELECTRIC WATER PUMP

 BOILER CIRCULATING WATER PUMP
The Boiler circulating pump motor (wet
winding motor) is manufactured by HPC in the
early 1980s with transferring KSB technology
from Germany. The motor was specially
designed and manufactured with three-phase
squirrel cage asynchronous motor, mainly
applied to 300MW and 600MW subcritical boiler
as circulating water pumps or circulation system
of primary coolant loop in small nuclear power
plant. A special pump test bench has been
constructed In order to meet the needs of the
market to develop a new product for the
1000MW supercritical circulating boiler water
pump and motor.

Dewatering pump
Dewatering pumps are centrifugal pumps installed in
a building that is situated below the groundwater level, to
reduce the water level and then maintain it at this level. One
example is in underground mining in which water penetrating
into the adits is pumped up to the surface. In open-cast mining,
the groundwater level is reduced through drainage well
trenches until the pit is dry. The groundwater level in
construction pits in civil engineering is reduced in a similar
way.
 In underground mining, the flow rates (Q) can attain up to 900 m3/h and
the heads (H) up to 1050 m; in open-cast mining up to 1800 m3/h and up to 400 m. It is
technically feasible to go beyond these limits.
Dewatering pumps installed as horizontal
pumps in dry installation usually have
no suction head. They are driven by electric
motors suitable for operation in potentially
explosive atmospheres. Vertical pumps in the
form of submersible borehole pumps offer
many benefits for automatically operated
dewatering systems. The submersible motor is
filled with water and positioned beneath the
pumps, flooded and thus adequately cooled.
Flameproofing is only required for the cable connections.
 INDUSTRIAL WATER PUMP
Industrial water pumps have many different functions, which allows them to be highly
versatile in industrial settings. These pumps are able to:
• Remove excess water from construction sites
• Pump water away in areas that are usually flooded from heavy rains
• Get rid of water in areas where stagnant water causes costly disruptions of
work
• Pump water to many different manufacturing processes, which extend from
cooling and thermal processes to mining and power processes
• Help with the treatment of effluent and wastewater
The exact functions of your industrial water pump depend on the type of pump that you
choose. If you are looking to send water to numerous manufacturing process throughout
the facility, you will likely need to obtain a large water pump with enough space to send
water to the entire facility.

2 COMMON TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL WATER PUMPS

While there are many different types of industrial water pumps that you can obtain
for your facility, these types can be further divided into two separate categories, which
include centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps. Understanding the
difference between these two pump types should make it easy for you to identify which
one is right for your industrial facility. Centrifugal pumps are much more common than
positive displacement pumps and are used solely for moving water. On the other
hand, positive displacement pumps are able to move water and build pressure when
necessary.
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
Centrifugal pumps have the potential to be very large to account for the needs of an
industrial facility, these pumps are also very simplistic and contain only a few moving
parts. The flow of water through a centrifugal pump is steady and consistent, which is
why these pumps are used solely for moving water. If you work in an industrial setting
that needs to send water to various manufacturing processes, a centrifugal pump may be
enough to provide for all of your needs.
Before a centrifugal pump can be used, it must be primed, which is why these
particular pumps work well when placed below the input source or fully submersed. The
many different kinds of centrifugal pumps available to you include:
• Booster pumps
• Fire pumps
• Submersible pumps
• Self-priming pumps
 • Well pumps
• Trash pumps
• Vertical turbine pumps
• Grinder pumps
• Axial flow pumps

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
Centrifugal pump selection is defined by a few key specifications, including flow rate,
head, power, and efficiency.
• Flow rate describes the rate at which the pump can move fluid through the system,
typically expressed in gallons per minute (gpm). The rated capacity of a pump must
be matched to the flow rate required by the application or system.
• Pressure is a measure of the force per unit area of resistance the pump can handle
or overcome, expressed in bar or psi (pounds per square inch). As in all centrifugal
pumps, the pressure in axial flow pumps varies based on the pumped fluid's
specific gravity. For this reason, head is more commonly used to define pump
energy in this way.
• Head is the height above the suction inlet that a pump can lift a fluid. It is a
shortcut measurement of system resistance (pressure) which is independent of the
fluid's specific gravity, expressed as a column height of water given in feet (ft) or
meters (m).
 • Net positive suction head (NPSH) is the difference between the pump's inlet
stagnation pressure head and the vapor pressure head. The required NPSH is
an important parameter in preventing pump cavitation.
• Output power, also called water horsepower, is the power actually delivered to
the fluid by the pump, measured in horsepower (hp).
• Input power, also called brake horsepower, is the power that must be supplied to
the pump, measured in horsepower (hp).
• Efficiency is the ratio between the input power and output power. It accounts for
energy losses in the pump (friction and slip) to describes how much of the input
power does useful work.
POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMPS
Positive displacement pumps are unique in that they don’t come with an impeller,
which is a rotating component that’s found in centrifugal water pumps. Instead of using
impellers, positive displacement pumps are outfitted with reciprocating or rotating parts
that are designed to move water while also increasing pressure around the discharge
side of the water pump. There are a variety of different positive displacement pumps
that your industrial facility can use, which extend to:
• Peristaltic pumps
• Plunger pumps
• Piston pumps
• Diaphragm pumps
• Metering pumps
• Flexible impeller pumps

SALTWATER OR SEA WATER PUMP

Salt water pumps are mainly used in coastal areas. They are used in the same
way a standard submersible pump can be used, the main difference is the high amounts
of corrosive salt in the water so a salt water pump is needed instead.
Submersible salt water pumps are often highly recommended for coastal flood
defence projects as they are small and easily stored, quick to use and extremely effective
at pumping water.
The submersible salt water pumps are easily transported and can be powered by
a 230v mains supply, or alternatively we also offer a 400v 3 -phase pump. These are very
popular within the marine industry.

• Tsurumi Submersible corrosion-resistant

pumps are made of stainless steel (304 or
316) and titanium. Because these materials
are used, the pumps can handle chemical
fluids of low pH value (e.g., corrosive acidic
fluid), as well as seawater.
• Furthermore, Tsurumi offers seawater
pumps that use titanium for parts exposed to
fluids. The combination of resin and titanium
enables a lightweight compact design that is

 Specification

Discharge, Flow-thru Design and Parts

1. Top Anti-wicking Cable Entry
Prevents water incursion due to capillary wicking should the power cable
be damaged or the end submerged
2. Motor Protector
Single-phase: Detects excess heat, therefore, protecting the pump against
overheating and dry-running.
Three-phase: React to excessive heat caused by dry-running. The bimetal
strip opens to cause the control panel to shut the power supply.
3. Dual Inside Mechanical Seals with Silicon Carbide Face
Isolated in the oil chamber where a clean, non-corrosive and abrasion-free
lubricating environment is maintained. Compared with the water-cooled outside
mechanical seal, it reduces the risk of failure caused by dry-heating and adhering
matter.
4. Oil Lifter
Provides lubrication and cooling of the seal faces down to 1/3 of normal oil
level, thus maintaining a stable shaft sealing effect and prolonging seal life longer.
5. Seal Pressure Relief Ports
Protect the mechanical seal from pump pressure. They also protect the seal
face by discharging wear particles.
6. Galvanic Anodes
Protect the pump against corrosive potential generated during the drainage
of wastewater.

Stormwater Pumps
Stormwater pumps are typically submersible pumps used for pumping stormwater.
Stormwater is first collected in pits, detention or retention tanks from run-off on driveways
and car parks and then either pumped into the stormwater system or to be treated.
A stormwater pump station is an intermediate collection tank for stormwater
with a submersible pump at the bottom. Instead of relying on gravity to cause the water
to flow to the discharge point, the pump provides the additional pressure needed to
overcome the difference in head pressure.
Sabre Submersible Stormwater Pump (Ultraflow 5”)
• ULTRAFLOW 5”multistage submersible pumps are a compact, robust product.
These quality pumps are constructed from 304 grade stainless steel. They offer an
extensive performance range and have been proven to perform reliably and
efficiently in many demanding applications around the world. These high pressure
multistage submersible pumps are ideal for domestic water supply, pressure
boosting, irrigation, treated effluent distribution, fountains, 6” bore & well
dewatering, ULTRAFLOW 5” multistage submersible pumps can be installed in
conjunction with a variety of control systems including conventional pressure
switch controllers, pressure & flow switch controllers and variable frequency drives.
Sump Pump
Sump pumps move water from your basement out of your home. A sump is a
naturally constructed pit, usually a hole carved below the main surface of your
basement floor. This pit, known as a basin, holds the sump pump. The pump is
equipped with valves that sense escalating water levels or pressure. When the water
gets too high, sump pumps automatically pump excess water out of the basement and
away from your property using a discharge line. This line, called an effluent, connects
the sump pump to a designated drainage area.
Are sump pumps necessary? Sump pumps are necessary in homes prone to
flooding. Whether it is from above-average rainfall or basements built below the water
table, flooding can be disastrous for your home and your health. Even if your home
does not flood, moisture can cause several types of mold that increase the risk for
upper respiratory infections, allergic reactions, and asthma complications. If you don't
have a way to move water outside, it's going to accumulate and eventually flood or
dampen your basement.

Wastewater Pump
Waste water pumps transport heavily contaminated water which often contains solid
particles of various organic, inorganic and mineral origin.
Wastewater pumps are used in the collection of sewage, effluent, drainage, and
seepage water in locations such as homes, farms, light commercial buildings, and
industrial areas. Many wastewater pumps use centrifugal force or positive displacement
to move fluids.
F 3202 MT & HT (Chopper Impeller)
• When solid objects such as stringy fibrous material and modern trash enter the
inlet of a conventional pump, they tend to get caught on the leading edges of the
impeller vanes. This buildup reduces the impeller’s efficiency, resulting in
increased power consumption.
• If a conventional wastewater pump runs intermittently, the solids buildup will be
removed by backflushing when the pump is shut off at the end of the operating
cycle. When the next cycle begins, efficiency returns to its initial value since the
impeller is free from solid objects.
• The high efficiency of the Flygt N-pump is sustained over time due to its self-
cleaning ability, keeping energy costs to a minimum.

Waterworks and Water Treatment Pumps

Waterworks and water treatment pumps are used to support the operations at a
waterworks facility. Waterworks pumps may be used to supply pressure for the water
distribution system or may pump water to a water tower or elevated water tank that is
used to maintain water pressure as demand varies throughout the day. Water treatment
pumps may be used to pump water into treatment tanks where additives such as chlorine
to kill bacteria are applied.
Omnivore® 2HP Duplex Grinder Packages
• When solid objects such as stringy fibrous material and
modern trash enter the inlet of a conventional pump, they tend
to get caught on the leading edges of the impeller vanes. This
buildup reduces the impeller’s efficiency, resulting in increased
power consumption.
• If a conventional wastewater pump runs intermittently, the
solids buildup will be removed by backflushing when the pump
is shut off at the end of the operating cycle. When the next cycle
begins, efficiency returns to its initial value since the impeller is
free from solid objects.
• The high efficiency of the Flygt N-pump is sustained over time due to its self-
cleaning ability, keeping energy costs to a minimum.
