Water Pumps (General Service)

A water pump is a device that is used to move water from one place to another using mechanical energy. This device is used in various applications such as industrial, agricultural, and urban. The main purpose of the water pump is to increase the pressure and flow of water to meet different needs.

Principles of water pump application

Water pumps generally work with two main mechanisms:

Centrifugal pumps: This type of pump works by using centrifugal force. An impeller that rotates at a high speed directs the water to the outside; this movement increases the speed and pressure of the water. These pumps are suitable for high flow and low to medium pressure applications.

Positive displacement pumps: In these pumps, a certain volume of water is moved in each cycle. Types of these pumps include piston, diaphragm and vane pumps. These pumps are suitable for moving water at high pressures and low flows.

Applications

Industrial: cooling water supply, water purification systems, water supply for production processes.

Agriculture: irrigation systems drip and rain irrigation pumps.

Urban: urban water supply, firefighting systems, drainage systems.

Important points in choosing water pump

Flow Rate: The amount of water that the pump moves per unit of time.

Head: The height at which the pump can move water.

Type of water: clean, polluted, containing solid particles or chemicals.

Energy consumption: Efficiency and energy consumption of the pump.

Environmental condition: temperature, pressure and environmental conditions of pump operation

Maintenance

Periodic inspections: checking the condition of mechanical and electrical parts.

Cleaning: preventing the accumulation of sediments.

Replacement of consumable parts: gaskets, bearings and seals.

Lubrication: for pumps with moving parts.

Prevention of dryness: preventing the pump from running without water.

Water pump is a basic tool for managing and transferring water resources, and its correct selection and proper maintenance increases its efficiency and useful life.
