Pump

A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action. Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and reciprocating pumps.

Mechanical pumps serve in a wide range of applications such as pumping water from wells, aquarium filtering, pond filtering and aeration, in the car industry for water-cooling and fuel injection, in the energy industry for pumping oil and natural gas or for operating cooling towers. In the medical industry, pumps are used for biochemical processes in developing and manufacturing medicine, and as artificial replacements for body parts, in particular the artificial heart and penile prosthesis.

Pumps operate by some mechanism (reciprocating or rotary), and consume energy to perform mechanical work by moving the fluid. Pumps operate many energy sources, including manual operation, wind power, electricity or engines come in many sizes, from microscopic for use in medical applications to large industrial pumps.

PEDAL WATER PUMP (PWP):-

Our motto is to create an eco-friendly water pump which is called as pedal water pump (PWP).The PWP works on mechanical energy without electricity. PWP provides irrigation and drinking water in some remote areas where electricity is not available. Pedal water pump is use of human energy to upswing the water.

PWP is not only free from pollution but also provide healthy exercise. PWP reduces the rising energy costs.PWP is designed as a portable one which can be used for irrigation in various places.

PWP consists of a Reciprocating pump operated by pedal power. Now a days, there are very major problem of electricity which cannot be renewable source so we have to find another way to save electricity. Everyone wants to find out the solution of above problem with the available sources of energy in order to archive electricity.

It is technology that is not only capable of removing a very wide variety of contaminates in just one step, but is simple, cost effective and environmentally friendly. Fortunately there is a solution of these problems. Unlike other electric pump, pedal water pump is completely free from electricity. The purpose of research is to design pedal water pump that can upswing water, liquid or slurries.

In India and other developing countries major problem of electricity where we use pedal water pump (PWP) to irrigation water.

Operation

The operation of the pump is simple and one adult man can operate the pump easily. During the upward movement of the plunger a negative vacuum pressure is created in the cylinder and causes the non-return valve to open and water enters into the pumping chamber of the cylinder.

When the plunger moves downward the check valve is closed due to positive pressure and a high pressure is created in the pump chamber due to compression of water which in turn open the plunger valve and water flows across the plunger valve from the suction to the delivery side of the cylinder water thus accumulates in the cylinder on the upper side of the plunger valve.

When the operator press the pedal with foot to move the lever downward, the plunger moves upward to create negative pressure in the cylinder and accumulated water is then discharged through outlet.

Working principle of pedal water pump-There are two cylinder and piston. Pistons are reciprocating in respective cylinder. Pistons are connected with connecting rod and connecting rods are connected with wiser. Wiser is connected with shaft. Shaft is rotating in bearing pedals.

Shaft is connected with flywheel which is connected to pedal with chain. By rotating the pedal both piston are reciprocating in cylinder alternatively which upswing the water.

Advantages

• This pump is self-priming - Not require filling the cylinders by starting.

• This pump can work in wide pressure range.

• Priming is not necessary in pump.

• Provide high pressure at outlet.

• Provide elevated suction lift.

• They are used for air also.

• It works without any electrical energy and it doesn’t produce any pollution.
