Everythings about Head of a Pump


The pump head or discharge head of a water pump is a measure of the power of a pump. The greater the pump head, the greater the pressure that the pump can generate. This statistic is measured in meters (or feet) and is calculated by placing a tube on a pump’s discharge and measuring the maximum height to which it can pump water.

This was a brief definition of the pump head. In the continuation of the article, we will carefully examine the pump head and compare it with other components, so stay tuned and read this article to the end.



A positive-displacement pump makes a fluid move by trapping a fixed amount and forcing (displacing) that trapped volume into the discharge pipe.

Some positive-displacement pumps use an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. Liquid flows into the pump as the cavity on the suction side expands and the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses. The volume is constant through each cycle of operation.

Total head
A much more useful measure of the head is the difference between the liquid level in the suction tank and the head in the vertical discharge pipe. This number is known as the “total head” that the pump can produce.


Increasing the level of the liquid in the suction tank will give rise to the increased heat, and decreasing the level will give rise to a lower head. Pump manufacturers and suppliers often won’t tell you how much head a pump can produce, because they can’t predict what the height of the liquid in your suction tank will be. Instead, they will report the total head of pump, the difference in height between the level of liquid in the suction tank, and the height of a column of water that the pump can achieve.

Introduction of electric motors and types

Image
  You've probably heard of electric motors by now. A critical piece in all electrical appliances. In this article, we will introduce electric motors in detail and examine its types, so stay tuned. An electric motor is a component that converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. Most electric motors are  electromagnetic -based. Most electric motors are rotary, but there are also linear motors. In a rotating motor, the moving part (usually inside the engine) is called the impeller or rotor, and the fixed position is called the station or stator. The motor consists of electric magnets wound on a frame. Although this frame is often referred to as armature, the term is often misused. Types of Electric Motor Electric motors may be classified by considerations such as power source type, internal construction, application and type of motion output. In addition to AC versus DC types, motors may be brushed or brushless, may be of various phase (see single-phase, two-phase, or three-...

Introduction and review of Suspension Insulators and Strain Insulators

Image
  In this article, we will have a detailed explanation and review of Suspension Insulators and Strain Insulators. Join us and read this article. First, we will introduce Suspension Insulators, and after reviewing it, we will submit Strain Insulators What is Suspension Insulators  ? The suspension type insulator consists of several insulation parts connected in series and forms a string. In suspension insulators, each porcelain discs is designed to work at 11 kV, and as the operating voltage increases, the number of discs in the string and in series increases as well. For example, the number of insulator discs required is 12 in 132 KV transmission lines.  Read More in Linquip What is Strain Insulators  ? According to  Wikipedia , A strain insulator is an electrical insulator designed to work in mechanical voltage (strain) to withstand the pull of a suspended electrical wire or cable. They are used in overhead electrical wiring to support radio...

Everything you should know about HVAC

Image
What is HVAC? What do you know about it? What is its use? In this article, we will take a closer look at HVAC, so join us to get the answers to these questions and any other questions about HVAC. The importance of HVAC Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of  mechanical engineering , based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. As was mentioned earlier, an  HVAC system  is intended for thermal control of areas as well as comfort for occupants. Temperature is factor that affects the performance and health status of many systems. Take the case of a server room temperature as an example for which high temperature adversely affects the system’s reliability and operation of the servers is a great source of heat ge...
