Animation | How ram pump works | Explained in detail.

This video is an animation based tutorial on the working of hydraulic ram pumps. We have made this video in such a way that it&very easy to understand. Have taken sincere effort to make it as simple as possible with animations and explanation. Ram pump works with the basic working principle - the gained momentum of the flowing water due to gravity and the flapping of the two valves namely the waste valve and the delivery valves. These types of pumps are used in rural areas which have a requirement to pump up hill and the availability of power is less. Working of the ram pump briefed: As shown in the animation. The water from a spring is directed to the ram pump using a pipe. The water is flowing due to the gravity as the ram pump is located downhill. Due to gravity, pressure increases inside the ram pump, resulting in the water to be forced in to the pressure chamber. In the pressure chamber we have air. The water entering the pressure chamber compresses the air to the maximum limit. As the air gets compressed its releases its pressure back on the water which forces the water up hill. The basic requirements in the area of installing a ram pump are: 1. Should have a continuous source of water from a pool or natural spring from uphill. 2. Normally used to pump water to uphill to a village or home where availability of power is limited. Advantages of a ram pump: 1. Less moving parts so the wear and tear is limited. 2. Less sound. 3. No need of power for the...
