3. Introduction
• A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source
of power that converts mechanical
power into hydraulic energy
• When a hydraulic pump operates, it
creates a vacuum at the pump inlet.
• Due to vacuum, liquid from the reservoir
enters into the inlet line to the pump
• Mechanical action delivers this liquid to
the pump outlet and forces it into the
hydraulic system

7. Positive displacement pumps
• Constant quantity of the fluid is delivered, regardless of the pressure
• High pressure and moderate capacity pumping
• Used in oil conducts and hydraulics devices
• Works on the principle of forced ejection of volume of fluid from a
closed chamber
• The displacement of the piston in the pump is equal to the amount of
volume of fluid pumped
• Positive displacement pump use an expanding cavity on the
suction side and delivering cavity on the delivery side

15. Advantages
• This pump is self-priming - Not
require filling the cylinders by
starting.
• This pump can work in wide
pressure range.
• Priming is not necessary
in pump.
• Provide high pressure at outlet.
• Provide elevated suction lift.
• They are used for air also.
Disadvantages
• More parts mean high initial cost
• High maintenance cost
• No uniform torque
• Low discharging capacity
• Pulsating flow
• Difficult to pump viscous fluid
• High wear in parts

16. Applications of Reciprocating pumps
• High Pressure, Low Flow Applications: Reciprocating pumps are generally
designed to pump in low flow, high head applications. One of the most extreme
of these applications is water jet cutting, where only a few gallons pass through
the pump per minute but exceed pressures of 10,000 PSI.
• Proven, Common Technology: Reciprocating pumps are one of the oldest, most
proven pump types. Reciprocating pumps range from less than 1 horsepower to
over 3,000 horsepower.
• Durability: Reciprocating pumps are used in some of the most abrasive and
corrosive applications. Fluid ends and fluid end parts can be made of many
different materials such as stainless steel, aluminum bronze, tungsten carbide,
ceramic, and more.
• Efficiency: Reciprocating pumps operate at high a higher efficiency compared to
other pump designs. In most cases, at any setpoint, reciprocating pumps operate
around 90%.

21. Rotating
element
• It consists of shaft and vane rotar called
impeller
• The vanes are cuved, cylindrical and even
complex surfaces
• The impeller is mounted to shaft and
coupled to a driving unit
• By the interaction between the vanes and
the liquids the mechanical energy of the
driver is converted to flow energy 21

22. Stationary
element
• It consist of casing and bearing
• Casing is an air tight chamber
surrounding the pump impeller
• It collects the liquid from the
impeller and leads it to high
pressure delivery side

23. Suction pipe, stainer
and foot valve
• Suction pipe connects the centre eye of
the impeller to the sumps from which
liquid is to be lifted
• The pips should be airtight to avoid the
formation of the bubbles
• Strainer is provided to avoid the entry of
the foreign dust particles
• Strainer is provided at the entry of the
suction pipe and foot valve is provided
above the strainer
• Foot valve restricts the entry of fluid in
opposite direction and prevents
backward flow when pump is stoped 23

24. Delivery pipe &
Delivery valve
• Delivery pipe leads the liquid from the
pump oulet to the point of use
• A regulator valve is provided just near the
outlet to regulate the flow

29. Advantages
• As there is no valves & many
moving parts, they are simple in
nature
• Moves at high speed
• Higher efficiency compare to
reciprocating pump
• Less maintenance
• They are flexible easy to move
and don’t take up a lot of space
• Output is steady and constient
Disadvantages
• Priming is required because of
the usage of rotation
• It causes the phenomenon of
cavatiation and this cause
corrosion
• Not suitable for too viscous
fluids
• Cant able to work at high heads
