Today, water cannot be dispensed with in any area of human life. But central water supply is not available in every country house and private sector. Even if such a system is present, in the summer it is not always possible to use the water intake points, since there is simply not enough pressure. But the water pump allows you to solve this problem. It is a unit that will provide high-pressure water.
Pressure Booster Pump Classification
If we consider the types of pumps for raising pressure, then you can note that such models differ in working conditions, methods of creating a vacuum and tasks. While the principle of operation for all models is the same. During operation, the pump will create a vacuum, water will pass from the tank to the vacuum compartment, after which it will be pushed out under high pressure.
Overview of Vortex Model Features
High-pressure vortex pumps for water create a vacuum by rotating the disk, where vortex vanes are located in a circle. The disk is also called a vortex wheel, and during its rotation, the liquid passes into the cavity of the body, and then is displaced by rotation of the blades. The main advantage of such equipment options is good suction, as well as the fact that the devices are completely not afraid of air bubbles. But such aggregates are sensitive to suspended particles, which is why it is difficult to pump contaminated water.
Features of Vibration Pumps
High-pressure vibration pumps for water are based on an electromagnet. The principle of operation of such equipment is very simple and consists in the fact that after applying voltage to the winding, the magnet begins to attract the armature. The polarity changes, which allows the anchor to return to its original position. In a short period, the piston and anchor change position approximately 100 times. Vibrations trigger vibrations that pump fluid particles into the discharge pipe. The advantage of such a device is the absence of rotating elements in an electric motor.
Features of centrifugal pumps
High pressure centrifugal pumps for water can be surface and submersible. You can select devices with a working shaft, which is located horizontally, and a shaft placed vertically. The impeller blades act on the liquid, this allows you to get labor, water moves, and a pressure is created under high pressure. A hand pump for use in well conditions is attractive in terms of cost and unpretentious in operation. It can be used even where there is no access to electricity, while water should not be present in large volumes.
In order for the device to work, it is necessary to make only one human effort. The device practically does not work at idle. Such units are vane and piston. The latter are more common, with their help you can pump water from a depth of up to 20 m, they can pump about 2000 ml per pump cycle. The first of these structures has a more compact size, but from the same depth it will pump out a smaller volume.
Reviews of plunger pumps for car washes
A high pressure pump for washing water can be a plunger. Among the most well-known manufacturers of such equipment, CAT stands out, which manufactures devices used in industry and everyday life. Often, such units can be found in transport factories and concrete plants, as well as during installation cleaning of various equipment.
The principle of operation is to pump fluid through dry suction. The piston creates a translational movement, so that water is pumped into the cavity of the lower part of the device through a special pipe. When the piston performs a reverse movement, the valve closes and prevents water from escaping. At this stage, another valve on the discharge pipe opens. At primary absorption, it is closed. These processes are repeated again and again, due to which water is pumped by the pump.
According to users, such a high-pressure pump for washing water has many advantages, among them:
- high-quality materials;
- compact sizes;
- the ability to adjust the pressure;
- the ability to replace parts.
In the manufacturing process, brass is used, as well as other special materials, which, according to customers, have the ability to undergo high temperatures and exposure to elements that may be contained in liquids. It should be noted and compact size, which does not interfere with high performance. Working pressure can be adjusted by changing the frequency of the pistons.
The cost of plunger pumps
A high pressure plunger pump for water may have a different price, which depends on the quality characteristics. For example, the CAT 5CP2120W model will cost the consumer 45,500 rubles. At the same time, its productivity is 15 liters per minute, and the pressure is 175 bar. Power consumption is 5.5 kW, and the speed per minute is 950 revolutions. As for the CAT 310 model, its price tag is 46,900 rubles. In a minute it will be possible to obtain the same volume of water as in the above case, the pressure is 150 bar, and the power consumption is 4.4 kW. The rotation speed is 950 rpm.
Another high-pressure plunger pump for water, the price of which is 210,000 rubles, is designated as CAT 2530. Its capacity is 80 liters per minute and the pressure is 85 bar. Power consumption is 14 kW, while the rotational speed is equivalent to 915 rpm.
Such equipment is now offered for sale in a wide range, as an example, we can consider another model - CAT 1050, which costs 140,000 rubles. In one minute, with its help it will be possible to get 38 liters of water, while the pressure is 155 bar, and the power consumption is 11.5 kW. The rotation speed is 1000 rpm. A high-pressure plunger pump for water, the price of which is 399,000 rubles, is designated as CAT 3545. Its capacity is 170 liters per minute and the pressure is 75 bar. Power consumption is 26.3 kW, but the rotation speed is 800 rpm.
Piston pump manufacturing
A high pressure piston pump for water is made in the form of a cylinder, which is made from a metal pipe cut. The length should be 100 cm. There should not be a perfectly round section; the body can be made of a pipe of any configuration. When you do a high-pressure pump for water with your own hands, in the next step it is necessary to weld the brackets for mounting the lever to the body. It is necessary to use a metal corner. Closer to the top, make holes for attaching the drain cable. You need to make a cover for the bottom to close the end.
For efficient operation of the pump, you can make a top cover that will hold the collected water. Next, make a piston, which is a plate consisting of two parts. The first part is the piston itself, which creates pressure, while the second is a piece of rubber whose thickness is 5 mm. In the piston body, you need to make several holes, close everything on top with rubber. Next, a pump rod is made, which is fixed at one end in the center of the piston. The master should also make an exhaust valve, which looks like thick rubber.
Conclusion
The popularity of this equipment is also explained by its ease of use, low cost and a variety of types, as well as models. If you use high pressure pumps for water when watering a summer cottage or garden, you can save a lot of personal time and effort. You can install such a device without assistance.
