Experiments with a Piston Pump
Technical Description of Experiments with a Piston Pump
Piston
pumps belong to the group of positive displacement pumps. They
transport the medium by a reciprocating motion of a piston in the pump
working space, called stroke. The stroke creates a suction respectively
vacuum effect used to deliver the water. Piston pumps are used when high
pressures are to be generated. The flow rate of piston pumps is
independent of the head and is determined only by speed. Its good
suction performance is outstanding. The cycle that takes place (intake
and discharge of water) can be shown clearly in the p-V diagram. The
pulsating pressure curve of the pump can be damped with the aid of the
air vessel. Flow rate and head are adjusted via needle valve and
overflow valve. The experimental unit is fitted with sensors for
pressure and flow rate. One pressure sensor measures the pressure at the
outlet of the pump, another one measures the pressure in the inside of
the cylinder. The position of the piston rod is measured by an angle
sensor. This allows the determination of the cylinder volume.
