2. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   A small, electrically powered pump A large, electrically driven pump for waterworks near the Hengsteysee, Germany. A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, [1] by mechanical action, typically converted from electrical energy into hydraulic or pneumatic energy.

3. Water pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

   In all other instances, pumps are necessary. In day-to-day situations, available water is often contaminated, unhealthy, or even naturally poisonous, so that it is necessary to pump potable water from lower levels to higher levels, where it can be of use. A fresh water source in a lower stream, river, pond, or lake is often pumped to higher ...

4. Submersible pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submersible_pump

   Pumps come in diameters from 90 mm (3.5 inches) to 254 mm (10 inches) and vary between 1 metre (3 ft) and 8.7 metres (29 ft) in length. The motor used to drive the pump is typically a three-phase, squirrel cage induction motor, with a nameplate power rating in the range 7.5 kW to 560 kW (at 60 Hz).

5. Peristaltic pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump

   The biggest advantage with the hose pumps over the roller pumps is the high operating pressure of up to 16 bar. With rollers, max pressure can arrive up to 12 bar (170 psi) without any problem. If the high operating pressure is not required, a tubing pump is a better option than a hose pump if the pumped medium is not abrasive.

6. 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 ...

7. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   Toward the end of the 19th century, interest waned as electricity and electric pumps became widely available. Priestly's Hydraulic Ram, built in 1890 in Idaho, was a "marvelous" invention, apparently independent, which lifted water 110 feet (34 m) to provide irrigation. The ram survives and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic ...
