What is Piston Pumps

 

 

A piston pump is a type of pump that operates based on the reciprocating motion of a piston. It consists of a piston inside a cylinder. As the piston moves, it changes the volume of the chamber. When the piston moves to increase the volume, fluid is drawn in through an inlet valve. When the piston moves to decrease the volume, the fluid is pushed out through an outlet valve. Piston pumps are known for their high - pressure capabilities and are used in various applications such as in hydraulic systems and for pumping liquids in industrial settings.

Features of plunger pumps

 

High Working Efficiency

 

The plunger pump has the characteristics of high rated pressure and high efficiency. Its pressure performance is excellent and can meet the needs of high-pressure systems.

01

Convenient Flow Adjustment

 

The flow of the plunger pump can be adjusted by changing the stroke or the number of pistons, and the operation is simple and flexible.

02

Good Sealing Performance

 

It can effectively prevent liquid leakage and ensure the stable operation of the pump.

03

Strong Adaptability To The Medium

In principle, the plunger pump can transport any medium, and is almost not restricted by the physical and chemical properties of the medium, and has a wide range of applicability.

04

Good Suction Performance

 

Because of its good self-priming performance, it is usually not necessary to fill the pump with liquid before starting.

Parts of a Piston pump

Cylinder:

The piston reciprocates in it, thereby changing the volume of the sealed working chamber.

 

Piston:

Relies on the reciprocating motion in the cylinder to achieve oil suction and oil pressure.

 

Suction Valve And Discharge Valve:

Control the suction and discharge of oil.

 

Power Transmission Device:

Provides power for the reciprocating motion of the piston.

Oil distribution plate (for axial piston pump)

Used for oil distribution, cooperates with the rotation of the cylinder to achieve oil distribution.

Slipper and variable head (some types)

In axial piston pumps, used to achieve variable adjustment and static balance of oil.

Sealing device

Such as piston sealing device, to ensure that the oil does not leak during pumping.

Hydraulic system

Piston pumps are used in various hydraulic systems, such as industrial hydraulic equipment, heavy machinery, mining machinery, etc.

2

Oil and gas industry

In oil extraction and natural gas production, piston pumps are used to convey and improve the flow of oil and gas, especially in high pressure and high temperature environments.

Pharmaceutical industry

Plunger pumps are often used in the pharmaceutical industry to provide precise flow control to ensure the uniformity and stability of ingredients during the production process.

2

Chemical industry

In chemical processing, piston pumps are used to convey various fluids, including corrosive and viscous liquids.

 

 

Working principle of Piston pump
 
 

Suction stroke

When the plunger moves backward, the volume in the pump chamber increases, causing the internal pressure to drop. At this time, the inlet valve opens and the liquid is sucked into the pump chamber through the suction pipe.

 
 

Discharge stroke

When the plunger moves forward, the volume of the pump chamber decreases and the internal pressure increases. At this time, the inlet valve closes, and the liquid is forced out through the discharge valve and flows to the pipeline or storage container.

 
 

Function of the valve

The plunger pump is usually equipped with a one-way valve. The inlet valve and the discharge valve together ensure the one-way flow of the liquid, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing back.

 
 

Cycle process

As the plunger continues to reciprocate, the pump chamber continuously completes the cycle of suction and discharge, and continuously delivers the liquid.

 

 

Types of Piston Pumps
 

Single-acting Plunger Pump: This pump generates pressure and sucks liquid in only one direction in each working cycle.

 

Double-acting Plunger Pump: Unlike single-acting pumps, double-acting pumps can suck and discharge on both sides during reciprocating motion, which is more efficient.

 

High-pressure Plunger Pump: This type of pump is suitable for occasions where high-pressure delivery is required, such as water jet cutting, cleaning and other fields.

 

Quantitative Plunger Pump: This pump can provide a constant flow rate during operation and is commonly used in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food.

 

Variable Plunger Pump: The variable plunger pump can automatically adjust the output flow rate according to the needs of the system and is suitable for application scenarios with large flow changes.

 

Hydraulic Plunger Pump: Commonly used in hydraulic systems, it can generate hydraulic energy through the movement of the plunger and is widely used in mechanical equipment and engineering machinery.

 

Gear Plunger Pump:This pump combines the advantages of plunger pumps and gear pumps and is suitable for the delivery of a variety of liquids.

 

 
 

Customized Piston Pump

Flow And Pressure Requirements
Determine the required flow and working pressure according to the specific application of the plunger pump. The plunger pump can provide high pressure and precise flow control, so these parameters must be clarified.

 

Material Selection
Select appropriate pump body materials and sealing materials according to the properties of the conveyed liquid (such as corrosiveness, temperature, etc.). Common materials include cast iron, stainless steel, alloy materials, etc.

 

Size And Installation Method
Customize the size and interface form of the plunger pump according to the space limitations of the installation environment to facilitate compatibility with the existing system.

 

Drive Method
The plunger pump can be driven by electric, hydraulic or mechanical drive.

Operating conditions

The plunger pump needs to consider the working environment of the pump, such as temperature, humidity, vibration, etc., and adjust the design accordingly.

 

 

Control system

The plunger pump can be customized with corresponding control systems, such as microcomputer control, variable frequency drive, etc., to achieve automation and precise control.

Accessories and services

When customizing the plunger pump, you can consider supporting parts and services, including filters, valves, monitoring instruments, etc., as well as after-sales maintenance services.

 

Special functions

Q: ‌What should I do if the plunger pump is severely worn?

A: Wear is caused by the continuous movement of the plunger and other internal parts. Wear parts need to be checked and replaced, and lubrication conditions need to be improved to extend the service life of the pump. ‌

Q: ‌What should I do if the plunger pump seals and gaskets fail?

A: Failure of seals and gaskets may cause internal and external leakage. Damaged seals and gaskets need to be checked and replaced. ‌

Q: ‌What should I do if the plunger pump hydraulic oil is contaminated?

A: Contaminants such as dirt and debris in the hydraulic oil will affect the performance and life of the pump. The hydraulic oil needs to be replaced regularly and the hydraulic system needs to be kept clean. ‌
