Design and Construction of a Hydraulic Ram Pump
Journal Title: Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies - Year 2007, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
The Design and Fabrication of a Hydraulic Ram Pump (Hydram) is undertaken. It is meant to lift water from a depth of 2m below the surface with no other external energy source required. Based on the design the volume flow rate in the derived pipe was 4.5238 × 10-5 m3/s (2.7 l/min), Power was 1.273 kW which results in an efficiency of 57.3%. The overall cost of fabrication of this hydram shows that the pump is relatively cheaper than the existing pumps.
