Hand Driven Hydraulic Ram Pump

A Hand Driven Hydraulic Ram Pump is a type of pump that falls under the supply class Power And Hand Pumps in the supply group Pumps And Compressors.

This pump operates using the principle of hydraulic ram, which is a cyclic water pump that uses the energy of flowing water to pump a smaller amount of water to a higher elevation. It does not require any external power source, such as electricity or fuel, as it is manually operated.

The pump consists of a drive pipe, a delivery pipe, and a hydraulic ram. The drive pipe is connected to a water source, such as a stream or a river, and the hydraulic ram is placed in between the drive pipe and the delivery pipe. When water flows through the drive pipe, it creates a pressure wave that forces the hydraulic ram to close a valve and redirect the water into the delivery pipe. This process repeats, creating a continuous flow of water to a higher elevation.

Hand Driven Hydraulic Ram Pumps are commonly used in rural areas or remote locations where access to electricity or fuel is limited. They are efficient, reliable, and require minimal maintenance. These pumps can be used for various applications, such as irrigation, livestock watering, and domestic water supply.

Overall, Hand Driven Hydraulic Ram Pumps provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for pumping water without the need for external power sources.
