Designing and dimensioning of a new type of pump that can be used in the field of land reclamation

Abstract

The findings made during the operation of the pumping stations within the land improvement arrangements, energy balances, measurements performed and low efficiencies that are currently between 50% -77%, it is necessary to continue research in order to improve parameters and replacement of existing aggregates with energy efficient equipment. Thus, theoretical and experimental research was performed in order to improve the projected theoretical parameters of a rotating volumetric pump. For a certain water flow rate that should be transported to irrigate an area of agricultural land or discharged from a land area equipped with drainage works, a rotating pump is dimensioned and the flow rate according to the number of rotations diagram is plotted.
