FME38 水圧ラムポンプ

The Hydraulic Ram Pump, "FME38", designed by EDIBON, utilizes the water hammer effect to raise water to a higher level than its power source. It operates by harnessing the rapid change in water velocity in a pipe that occurs when its flow is interrupted. When the flow of water is abruptly stopped, a shock wave is generated that increases the pressure in the pipe, pushing a small amount of water upward and out of the supply pipe. This water is then directed to a higher point, where it can be stored or used for various purposes, such as irrigation or water supply in remote areas.

The Hydraulic Ram Pump, "FME38", thus allows for the study and understanding of principles of hydrodynamics (the sudden change in water flow generates a shock wave resulting in increased pressure in the pipe), energy transformation (kinetic energy of water flow is converted into potential energy when water is raised to a higher level), efficiency and performance (factors affecting the efficiency of the hydraulic ram pump can be analyzed, such as lifting height, water flow velocity, and pipe geometry), or its practical applications in agriculture, civil engineering, and water supply in rural or remote areas.
