  2. Booster pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

    Small compressed air powered breathing gas booster pump Haskell booster set up for charging rebreather cylinders from premix banks with low pressure compressor. A booster pump is a machine which increases the pressure of a fluid. It may be used with liquids or gases, and the construction details vary depending on the fluid.

  3. Pumping station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

    Typically, water is channeled from a high-level reservoir to a low-level reservoir, through turbine generators that generate electricity. This is done when the station is required to generate power. During low-demand periods, such as overnight, the generators are reversed to become pumps that move the water back up to the top reservoir.

  4. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

    The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to be lifted to a point higher than where the water originally started. The hydraulic ram is sometimes used in remote areas, where there is both a source of low-head hydropower and a need for pumping water to a destination ...

  5. Water supply network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_network

    The water is typically pressurised by pumping the water into storage tanks constructed at the highest local point in the network. One network may have several such service reservoirs. In small domestic systems, the water may be pressurised by a pressure vessel or even by an underground cistern (the

  6. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

    Self-priming pumps have to be capable of evacuating air from the pump suction line without any external auxiliary devices. Centrifugal pumps with an internal suction stage such as water-jet pumps or side-channel pumps are also classified as self-priming pumps. [10] Self-Priming centrifugal pumps were invented in 1935.

  7. Circulator pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulator_pump

    This avoids one of the principal challenges faced by the larger, two-part pumps: maintaining a water-tight seal at the point where the pump drive shaft enters the pump body. Small- to medium-sized circulator pumps are usually supported entirely by the pipe flanges that join them to the rest of the hydronic plumbing. Large pumps are usually pad ...

  9. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Pressure regulator for domestic water supply. Outlet pressure is set with the blue handwheel and shown on the vertical scale. A water pressure regulating valve limits inflow by dynamically changing the valve opening so that when less pressure is on the outside, the valve opens up fully, and too much pressure on the outside causes the valve to shut.
