It is made of aluminum, steel or other light alloys and can be adapted for use in various industries. The pump has a metal cylinder attached to the handle, a […]
Clamshell pumps remove wet sand or mud from an area to be excavated or drilled. They have a one-way valve at the bottom and are used for pumping out wetlands, seabeds, and dykes. They are simple to maintain and can be fitted to trucks or vessels. A clamshell pump is a simple type of pumping […]
A coil pump is a low-cost and simple pump that uses a rotating coil of hollow tubes partially submerged in fluid. It operates horizontally and requires minimal energy to operate, making it ideal for rural agricultural irrigation. It was developed as an alternative to Archimedean screw pumps and is easy to build and maintain with […]
A compressor pump compresses gas for high pressure use, commonly found in air conditioning and refrigeration units. There are various types, including single and two-stage compressors, screw compressors, and superchargers. Single-stage compressors are common in home garages, while two-stage compressors provide high pressure and volume. A compressor pump is a device used to compress a […]
A variable displacement pump can generate electrical energy or apply mechanical force to fluid flow. Hydraulic motors based on this design have a central axle, piston cylinder, and circular plate. The pump’s circular pistons displace different amounts of fluid depending on their horizontal position, and the compensator adjusts the swashplate angle for maximum efficiency. A […]
A piston pump uses cylinders to pump air or liquid into a storage tank for later use. It is powered by an electric or other motor and can be straight, V-configuration, or radial. The pump design generates heat and water, but filters and siphons can reduce water production. Piston pumps recover air quickly, making them […]
To troubleshoot a fuel pump, start with basic checks like listening for a rhythmic vibrating sound from the fuel tank, checking the fuel pump circuit fuse, inspecting fuel lines and hoses, and checking the fuel pump relay and connections. If necessary, replace faulty parts or the entire fuel pump. There are several things you can […]
A spa pump circulates water and provides buoyancy for massages and bubble jets. It comes in different wattages and horsepower ratings. Power is limited by plumbing and comfort, but some models have speed options. Voltage is also important to consider. Some heat pumps are designed for circulation only, which can extend the life of both […]
Pumping units are used to extract oil from wells in oil fields. Reciprocating piston pumps are commonly used. The head of the device swings up and down to create pressure. Personnel inspect and maintain the units. Companies offer a range of designs and support for their products. A pumping unit is equipment used to extract […]
The rod pump is a common device for extracting oil from wells, powered by electric or gas motors. Its simple design makes it easy to operate and maintain, but adjustments may be needed over time. A rod pump is the most commonly used pumping device for oil wells. Noted for its distinct shape and design, […]
Fuel pump valves control the amount of fuel an engine receives for efficient operation. They allow for the right mix of oxygen and gasoline and are typically one-way valves. Modern valves are electronically powered and work with an exhaust valve to release exhaust after fuel is burned. Fuel pump valves are crucial for personal automobiles […]
Booster pumps are necessary for managing water systems with inconsistent flows. There are two types: single-stage and multi-stage. Consider water needs and location before installation, and choose an experienced company for installation and maintenance. Booster pumps are designed to equalize water pressure in areas where flows are highly variable. This type of pump is essential […]
The Pump Jack Scaffold is an adjustable construction scaffold with foot pedals used for height adjustments. It is portable, easy to assemble, and versatile, making it a favorite of small construction crews. Safety measures such as personal fall prevention devices or guardrails are recommended. The Pump Jack Scaffold is a compact, adjustable construction scaffold with […]
Diesel engines differ from gasoline engines in their fuel ignition method, which relies on compressed air instead of a spark. Diesel fuel pumps inject fuel directly into the cylinder, and their location and design can vary. Diesel engines are popular due to the higher energy density of diesel fuel, resulting in better energy efficiency. Although […]
Circulation pumps move liquids or gases in a closed circuit, with an electric motor as the power source. They are commonly used in water heating or cooling systems and can conserve water when combined with water heaters. The entire unit is sealed to maintain a watertight seal, and the pump can be made of cast […]
Bicycle pumps come in two types: floor pumps and manual pumps. Both have gauges to monitor air pressure and can be battery-operated. They are lightweight and easy to store, making them ideal for cross-country biking. Bicycle pumps are a type of hand pumps that are capable of inflating bicycle tires. Most pumps of this type […]
A concrete pump moves liquid concrete to different locations using a worm gear to push it through a piping system. There are three types of pumps: boom, line, and special purpose. Boom pumps are truck-mounted and used for large projects, while line pumps are portable and used for smaller projects. Special purpose pumps are used […]
A centrifugal pump uses a rotating impeller to increase liquid velocity in a piping system. It was first documented in 1475 and modern pumps were developed in the late 1600s. The force is created through rotational kinetic energy from an electric motor. Resistance must be created to slow down the flow of a liquid. There […]
Water well pumps are necessary to draw water from underground wells for use in homes and other structures. Different designs are available, including jet and submersible pumps. Clogging and priming are common issues that need to be considered in their design and installation. The pump should not exceed the power of the well and may […]
A plunger pump regulates fluid flow in various industries, using two valves and a plunger to create suction or discharge. It can handle solids without clogging and is made of various metals, including ceramic for offshore use. Piston pumps are similar but move liquids or solids instead. Trailer-mounted pumps were first made in 1928 and […]
