Development And Evaluation Of Double Pedal Operated Piston Pump
ABSTRACT
A piston pump was constructed on
double cylinder and double pedal on a frame of LxWxH of 58x50x90cm. A Peugeot
504 cylinder was used which measured 88mm in diameter, while the pipe work was
also done. The pump was tested for discharge rate, speed, maximum lift,
discharge length, suction head and efficiency. The result obtained shows that
the pump could discharge a maximum of 10.1 litrs per minute which is equivalent
to 606litres per hour. It was observed that the discharge rate depends on
effort applied by the operator and the depth of water from which it could draw
water (suction head) .The pump pumped water at a speed of 62 strokes per minute
and maximum suction head and delivery length is 2.lm and 5.8m and efficiency
was 577. Based on the discharge rate and the depth it can draw water, it would
be suitable to irrigate small fragmented land holdings especially it can draw water
from shallow depth (up to im) to irrigate small plots like vegetables and seed
beds with less physical effort.
