 Introduction

Pump is defined as a device which transfers the input mechanical energy of motor
or of an engine into pressure energy or kinetic energy or both of a fluid.
The earliest pumps were devices for rising water, such as the Persian and Roman
water wheels and more sophisticated Archimedes screw. Pumps used to transport,
or pressurize gases are called compressors, blowers or fans. The important
characteristics, of a pump are the required inlet pressure, the capacity against given
total head (energy per pound due to pressure, velocity or elevation), and
thepercentage efficiency is much higher for mobile liquids such as water than for
viscous fluids such as molasses. Thomos Savery was an English inventor and
engineerborn at Shilstone, a manor House near Modbury, Devon England. He
invented the first commercially used steam powered device a steam pump which is
often referred toas “engine”, although it is not technically an engine.

7
Pump :

The hydraulic pump can also be utilized in processes thatrequire high hydraulic
pressure. It is hydraulic device that lifts fluids from low to high levels, moves fluid
from low to high-pressure areas. The pump transfers fluid by converting the fluid's
mechanical energy into pressure energy (Hydraulic Energy). It can be observed
with heavy equipment. A pump has similar working to a compressor. The main
difference between them is that they use different working fluids.

8
Types of Pump :
There are two main types of pump are given below :
1. Positive Displacement Pumps (Reciprocating Pump)

A Positive Displacement pump (PD pump) is a mechanical device which displaces a

known quantity of liquid for every revolution or cycle that the pump completes. The flow
rate through a positive displacement pump is directly proportional to its speed and
number of cycles over a given time.

9
2. Rotodynamic Pumps (Centrifugal Pump)

A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device designed to move a fluid by means of the

transfer of rotational energy from one or more driven rotors, called impellers. Fluid
enters the rapidly rotating impeller along its axis and is cast out by centrifugal force
along its circumference through the impeller's vane tips. The action of the impeller
increased the fluid's velocity and pressure and also direct it towards the pump outlet. The
pump casing isspecially designed to constrict the fluid from the pump inlet, direct it into
the impeller and then slow and control the fluid before discharge.

10
Types of Rotodynamic Pumps (Centrifugal Pump) :
a. Mechanically Actuated
Pump :
This type of pump has a
reciprocating mechanical
linkage that is directly
attached to the diaphragm.
The pump includes a gear
set or other mechanical
mechanism to convert the
rotation of the linkage
that is attached to the
diaphragm flow may be
varied by varying the stroke
Length of pump speed.

b. Hydraulically Actuated Pump :

This type of operation employs an
intermediate hydraulic fluid
located on the non-product side of
the diaphragm to flex the
diaphragm. The hydraulic fluid is
pressurized by a reciprocating
plunger. Though it act similar to a
mechanically actuated diaphragm,
the plunger isn’t attached to the
diaphragm, but rather pressurizes
the intermediate hydraulic fluid,
which flexes the diaphragm. Flow
is varies with this type of
diaphragm pump by varying the
amount of hydraulic fluid that is by
11
passed.

12
c. Solenoid Pump :
These pumps have an electric motor that alternately energizes and de-energizes a
solenoid, creating an electromagnetic force. That reacts with a metal part on the
diaphragm.A pump that
uses an electromagnet
as the driving power.
When energized, the
electromagnet attracts
the solenoid plunger,
generating

a
reciprocativing

the diaphragm to
deliver a pre-
determinedamount of
flung motion moid.

d. Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps (AODD):

This is type of double acting pump. They have two diaphragm and two sets of
check valves. The pump is driven by compressed air operating alternately on the
non- product side of one diaphragm, and then the other. The air is delivered to the
alternate sides of the diaphragm by means of a shuttle valve. Flow is varied by
varying air pressure supplied to the pump.

13
Types of Posture Displacement Pumps (Reciprocating Pump) :
Based on Cycle of Operation :
a) Single Acting Pump :
Single acting pumps discharge on either the forward or return stroke of the piston
or plunger ; every cycle of the pump displace only one volume of liquid.

b) Double Acting Pump :

In double acting pump, liquid is discharged on both the forward and return stroke
of the piston.

14
 Based on Number of Cylinder
a) Single Cylinder Pump :
A single acting cylinder in a reciprocating engine is a cylinder in which the
working fluid act on one side of the piston only. A single acting cylinder relies on
the load, springs, other cylinders, or the momentum of a fly wheel to push the
piston back in the other direction.

b) Multi-Cylinder Pump :
Where more than one cylinder is being driven by one driver, the arrangement is
named according to the type and number of cylinders.

15
Based on Pumping element :
a) Plunger Pump : A piston pump is a positive displacement pump, in which the
high-pressure seal rotates with piston. These types of pumps are used to move
liquids or compressed gases. The two piston pumps are lift and force pumps
operated by hands or by the engine.
b)Piston Pump : A piston pump is a type of positive displacement pump where
the high-pressure seal reciprocates with the piston. Piston pumps can be used to
move liquids or compress gases. They can operate over a wide range of pressures.
c)Bucket Pump : The bucket pump is mainly used in drilled wells. A hand
operated force pump commonly used for spraying with liquids contained in a
bucket.

Water pumps are commonly used on construction sites to remove excess water
accumulated due to heavy rain or high water table. They primarily serve two
purposes: keep water out of foundations, tunnels, and other excavation pits ; and
provide supply of water for jetting and sluicing pumping, water for cofferdams,
etc. The choice of water pumps for water construction sites is dependent on the
complexity of the project, the amount and rate at which the liquid is removed, the
type of liquid, the loss due to friction, the height of suction lift, and the size of the
pump.

16
 Selection and Choice of Pump :
i. Requirement
ii. Capacity of pump
iii. Fluid characteristics
iv. Importance of water supply
v. Material of construction
vi. Cost of pump
vii. Space available
 Generally reciprocating pumps are suitable where required capacity is expected
constant over wide range of system head variations.
 Centrifugal pumps are used in variable head, space available for installation
also plays an important role if less space is available centrifugal pumps are the
best choice.
 Various fluid properties like velocity, density, also plays an important role in
selection of pump
 For example, reciprocating pump are submersible pumps are used in bore well.

 Pump Applications :
1) To pump water from to fields for agricultural and irrigation purposes.
2) In petroleum installations to pump soil.
3) In steam and diesel power plants to circulate feed water and cooling water
respectively.
4) Hydraulic control systems.
5) Transfer of raw materials.
6) Pumping of water in building.
7) Fire fighting

Conclusion

It was a wonderful learning experience for me while working on this project. This
project developed my thinking skills related to the topic. The project give me real
insight into the topic “Collect the information about different types of pumps for
selection of type of pump”. This is a great woner for me that our teacher helps
us in all respect to finish such an Micro-Project i.e “Collect the information about
different types of pumps for selection of type of pump”. A special thanks to my
dear principal sir and teacher setting such a target for us. I enjoyed every beat of
work, I put into this project, I do hope that my project will be interesting may be
even knowledgeable.
