Redesign of reciprocating type plunger pump. PROJECT MEMBERS: P.VINOTHKUMAR K.VINOTH T.KANNAN B.RAJASEKARAN PROJECT GUIDE: A.RAMPRAKASH,M.E.,
Plunger pumps. • Plunger pumps are reciprocating type positive displacement pumps. • Fluid flows through the suction valve and into the chamber as the plunger recedes. At the end of thestroke, the chamber is at its maximum size. • The suction valve closes, the plunger moves forward into the chamber, forcing the fluid out the discharge valve. The flow from each chamber is a pulse flow.
Contd… • A plunger pump where the high-pressure seal is stationary and a smooth cylindrical plunger slides through the seal. • This type of pump is often used to transfer municipal and industrial sewage. • The volume of fluid discharged is equal to the area of plunger ,multiplied by its stroke length. the number of the plunger and the speed of the drive.
Practical application • Agro sprayer . • Water service for vechicles . • Fire service applications. • Toilet cleaner.
Problems. • In current model, the operating gun is having pulsation. Because the pulsation dampener is not effective. • So, It is a problem to operator to handle the gun. • The plunger material having more problems due to low hardness (38 HRC). • So, we planned to improve the hardness property of plunger material.
OBJECTIVES. • By Redesign the pulsation dampener to reduce the pulsation. • By Changing the plunger material according to hardness property.
Pulsation dampener • Pulsation dampeners is a temporary storage and pulsation control device. • Pulsation dampeners are used to reduce suction and discharge pressure pulsations. • At the forward stroke water will fill the dampener. • At the return stroke water is discharged. • So, the flow is balanced to equal discharge.
Contd… • In the plunger pump it is located at the discharge potion. • Cylindrical hollow dampener having atmospheric pressure. • The present model pulsation dampener is show in fig.
Redesign of pulsation dampener. • In the current pulsation dampener is operated in the atmospheric pressure. So, the discharge gun is having some pulsations. • In new design, the pulsation dampener is divided into two parts ,the diaphragm rubber is fixed between the two parts . Types of pulsation dampener. • Air loaded at 18 bar with diaphragm . • Spring loaded at 18 bar with diaphragm.
ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL FOR PLUNGER. • The company is now using ss410 as plunger material. • It have more drawback in hardness, corrosion ,wear and tear. • hardness of ss410 is 38 HRC • So, we planned to change the material with higher hardness than present material .
ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS The alternatives are • Ss304 ( hardness 50-HRC ) • Ss410 with harden and ceramic coating ( hardness 83-HRC)
