ANALISA PENGARUH PANJANG PIPA INLET DAN PANJANG PEGAS KATUB BUANG TERHADAP PERFORMANCE POMPA HIDRAM

Abstract

Hidram pump is one of the water pumps are energy efficient and
environmentally friendly. Pump hidram an effective technology in the field of
energy pumping by using the momentum of the water (water hammer) to raise
the water, so the pump hidram one water pump that does not use fuel and
electricity. Effectiveness hidram pump performance is affected by several
parameters such as the diameter of the pipe, reservoir height, exhaust valve, the
air tube on hidram pump, inlet pipe length. This study aimed to observe and
analyze the effect on the length of the inlet pipe to the pump hidram high
discharge pumps and pumping. This research method through the design of the
pump installation hidram and observation influence the inlet pipe length (6 m, 8
m, 10 m), and the observation of the effect of the length of the exhaust valve
spring (7 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm) to the pressure value (H) and the value of discharge
(Q) to the pump performance hidram. The test is performed in Production
Process Laboratory August 17, 1945 University of Surabaya. The longer the
pipe, the flow in the pump inlet hidram (Q) generated will be even greater. So in
the above study also directly proportional to the value of head (H) and
discharge rate (Q) on the pump performance hidram. So the value of the
existing pressure in the pump hidram with maximum value is generated head
with value - average (H) 1.41 bar and the discharge of water produced with -
average (Q) 21 liters / min. This is because the moment of greatest impact on
the water valve.
