Hydraulic Ram, also called as HYDRAM, is a type of pump in which energy of large quantity of water falling a through a small height is utilized to lift small quantity of water through greater height. Here no external power is required. Such a system is used in remote areas where large quantity of water at low height is available, and where power is scare.

Specification:
This is a demonstration type model. The hydraulic ram consists of a valve chamber. The valve chamber contains a waste water valve and delivery valve.
Water to chamber is supplied from an overhead tank and delivered through a pipe of comparatively small diameter at a height above the height of overhead tank.

The water flow is intermittent or cyclic.
1. Over Head tank -100 lit capacity.
2. Head over Ram - 2m
3. Diameter of Supply pipe     - 50mm.
4. Diameter of delivery -15mm.
5. Valve chamber comprising of waste valve and a delivery valve.
6. A non return valve fitted in delivery pipe.

 

Services Required:

1. Water supply in Overhead tank.
2. Floor Area 3m x 3m.
