About the Practice
Problem Statement:

Irrigation from more depth with affordable cost

Detail:

Using two chambers in the cylinder as well as a creative arrangement of valves, double acting is achieved. This water lifting pump can be installed in the well bore or any other suitable water source simply by increasing the length of the piston rod of the pump. Manubha has also developed an idea of balancing mechanism in this pump. In the conventional pump, weight of the piston rod remains unbalanced and so during upstroke, the lifting mechanism needs to carry the extra load of the piston rod. However during the down stroke the piston rod reduces the required workload. But, due to this, the total system suffers from an unbalanced load distribution throughout the cycle. By introducing the balancing mechanism, the innovator has introduced a system, where throughout the cycle, the load is uniformly distributed. Adjusting the weight of the balancing mechanism enables the smooth operation of the pump.

Practice Details

Link: This pump has a discharge of 220-litre/ min at a water head (discharge) of 18 metres. Unlike the single acting reciprocating pump, in this pump, both the strokes are effective and there are no idle strokes. It thus gives continuous water supply with no fluctuation in discharge. This pump can be operated by electricity or a diesel engine. Since the motor is above ground level, it is easier to maintain as compared to the submersible pumps. The pump has a unique balancing mechanism to give constant load distribution throughout the cycle- a desirable criterion for any mechanical system.
