ABSTRACTABSTRACT This project is mainly focused on the water line This project is mainly focused on the water line

engineering.engineering.

The main ambition of our project is how to reduce man The main ambition of our project is how to reduce man power in take the water from deep well and pond. Using power in take the water from deep well and pond. Using plunger pump without usage of electrical energy plunger pump without usage of electrical energy

Our experimental set up consists of PVC pipe cylinder and Our experimental set up consists of PVC pipe cylinder and check valve, foot valve, hose pipe and mainly a plunger check valve, foot valve, hose pipe and mainly a plunger arrangement.arrangement.

Any human body worrying while that they under hard word Any human body worrying while that they under hard word alike take the water from the well or deep pond in small alike take the water from the well or deep pond in small use. so, we make a pump using PVC pipes and plunger use. so, we make a pump using PVC pipes and plunger without need of electrical energy.without need of electrical energy.

The main advantages are nonpolluting and noiseless The main advantages are nonpolluting and noiseless operation.operation.

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION Now we are in the critical situations that how to save the Now we are in the critical situations that how to save the

electrical energy and the alternative way of man power electrical energy and the alternative way of man power usage with less effort, or less manpower usage while no usage with less effort, or less manpower usage while no availability of power, or power cut timings.availability of power, or power cut timings.

The project give an idea to take the water from well while The project give an idea to take the water from well while power cut times .This pump can be made in home easily power cut times .This pump can be made in home easily without any experience and without help of plumber. without any experience and without help of plumber.

Simple and much cost low components are used in this pipe Simple and much cost low components are used in this pipe construction. It is the manually operated pump with plunger construction. It is the manually operated pump with plunger mechanism.mechanism.

Push and pulling operation is used here with less man effort Push and pulling operation is used here with less man effort providing by the plunger fitted inside a PVC cylinder.providing by the plunger fitted inside a PVC cylinder.

So that we can give less effort to operate the pump to take So that we can give less effort to operate the pump to take water from low head water level well up to 10 meters water from low head water level well up to 10 meters depth.depth.

COMPONENTS IN DETAILCOMPONENTS IN DETAIL PVC PIPES:PVC PIPES: PVC pipes are made by Poly Vinyl Chloride. They are PVC pipes are made by Poly Vinyl Chloride. They are

weightless and easy to use in any water line area and more life weightless and easy to use in any water line area and more life compare than the steel pipes.compare than the steel pipes.

CHECK VALVE:CHECK VALVE: Check valves are used for direct the liquid flow in one direction Check valves are used for direct the liquid flow in one direction

only. They can be used in horizontal or vertical direction.only. They can be used in horizontal or vertical direction.

PLUNGER:PLUNGER: Plunger is a component that tightly moves along inside cylinder Plunger is a component that tightly moves along inside cylinder

wall and creates pressure inside of cylinderwall and creates pressure inside of cylinder

ELBOWS:ELBOWS: Elbows are made by the PVC. They are used in bends and reduce Elbows are made by the PVC. They are used in bends and reduce

the minor losses in the bends by its design.the minor losses in the bends by its design.

CONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION PVC cylinder is the 2.5” pipe and the PVC cylinder is the 2.5” pipe and the

plunger model is 2.plunger rod extended to plunger model is 2.plunger rod extended to 2.5 feet's.2.5 feet's.

The pump construction looks like a T shape. The pump construction looks like a T shape. Check valve and foot valves are in the water Check valve and foot valves are in the water flow direction.flow direction.

Plunger is fitted inside the 2.5” cylinder Plunger is fitted inside the 2.5” cylinder pipe it would be 1.75 feet’s. The inlet and pipe it would be 1.75 feet’s. The inlet and outlet water carriers are 1” PVC pipes.outlet water carriers are 1” PVC pipes.

All parts connected using quick setting All parts connected using quick setting solution. Check valve used for outlet path. solution. Check valve used for outlet path. Plunger rod footed with wood hand and the Plunger rod footed with wood hand and the elbows are used in bends.elbows are used in bends.

OPERATIONOPERATION This is manually operated plunger pump. Push and pull This is manually operated plunger pump. Push and pull

operation is main concept here.operation is main concept here.

Pressure reduction inside the cylinder is achieved by the Pressure reduction inside the cylinder is achieved by the pulling of the plunger towards out. So there is suction pulling of the plunger towards out. So there is suction force formed.force formed.

So that foot valve opened and well water comes into hose So that foot valve opened and well water comes into hose and cylinder. But now check valve fully closed in outlet and cylinder. But now check valve fully closed in outlet part.part.

Then the plunger pushed downward or towards inside the Then the plunger pushed downward or towards inside the cylinder foot valve closed and check valve opened then the cylinder foot valve closed and check valve opened then the water released to outside.water released to outside.

The suction water quantity will be change about length The suction water quantity will be change about length travel of the plunger inside the cylinder.travel of the plunger inside the cylinder.

In this design if the length of travel is maximum up to 1.75 In this design if the length of travel is maximum up to 1.75 feet’s. Water delivery will be 2 liters.feet’s. Water delivery will be 2 liters.
