/ / E-books

What is Booster Pumps? Pressure Booster System has complete combo package for water pressure boosting and it is precisely designed for hassle free Performance. The complete system developed to preserve constant water pressure in all outlets, whenever pressure drops/ attains to the desired level, pump will Start/Stop automatically. Overall compactness of the Pressure boosters consumes Lesser space and Quality assured Components were used for High Accuracy, so that noise level will be in limit. What causes low water pressure? Gravity: Gravity is behind the speed at which the water flows. If the elevation wherein which the water needs to be delivered is higher, the lower the water pressure. When water needs to flow up several floors, gravitational pull, brings it back down. Buildings with multiple stories need booster pumps to move water up many stories. Distance from the water source: Distance from the water source and pipe size affect water pressure. Additional water systems: If there are any additional water fixtures, this may decrease the flow of water hence there is a need for a booster pump to increase the water pressure. How does it works ? A water pressure pump boosts adequate pressure to the water and delivers it to the desired location by increasing its pressure. The water pressure is a force that moves water from the water source into the desired water supply location or system. Most water pressure pumps consist of a pump, inlet and outlet, impeller, and a pressure monitoring device. Water enters through an inlet and is pushed out through an outlet by an impeller. These pumps also have a tank which helps to build the pressure of water The impeller is spun by an electric motor. The system of sucking in and pushing out water can differ with high-pressure pumps. Single pump boosters use a single spinning propeller, while others use an oscillating diaphragm depending on the pressure required. Advantages of Pressure Booster Pumps A pressure booster pump provides a steady supply of the fluid or water Very Compact and Space Saving design Silent Operation Higher Efficiencies Increased Energy Savings Remote control Monitoring Service Friendly with Easy accessibility Reduced Maintenance Cost Operates in accordance with water demand No manual intervention required Maintains system pressure all the time Saves energy by shutting the pumps when there is no usage Offered in various pump configurations Minimal Floor Space Application of booster pump Transport of water in high rise buildings Moving water through a high-rise building required a high-pressure head. Pressure Booster pumps can be installed to serve this need.A domestic water booster pump keeps the water supply steady to make sure that you do not have to miss out on your daily schedule because of the scarcity of water Irrigation A booster pump may also be necessary for sprinklers and high-pressure spraying systems, which need a strong water pressure to operate. Other industrial applications An efficient and a reliable industrial booster system meets the needs of industries that require optimal water pressure for varied applications. Filtration Reverse osmosis HVAC Boiler feed Any industrial process that requires high fluid pressure Tips to install a booster pump A booster pump installs right where water needs to be transported from. For example, in a household with low water pressure, the pump should be installed on the mainline where water enters the house. Plug the inlet in and then the outlet goes to the back of the plumbing supply. Other tips Having a bypass is always a good idea in case of pump malfunctions. A bypass allows isolation of the pump in case of failure and ensures continuous water supply. Before connecting the pump to the house, test it. The pump may cycle due to a low flow rate when there is a leak. Cycling involves the pump starting and stopping rapidly. Booster pumps are activated by either flow rate or pressure, or both. In case of a leak, then isolate the pump and test it to make sure the pump’s not the problem. How to choose the right booster pump? Several factors ranging from the state of pipelines to the desired level of pressure head are to be considered.CRI Pumps manufacturers pressure booster pumps that have lesser running costs than conventional systems.

Role of pumps in Wastewater Management Waste Water Management has become increasingly important with the drastic climate changes and widespread droughts of today. Essentially, wastewater pumps are a type of submersible pump designed to handle wastewater, effluent, and sewage with solids. They can also be implemented for pumping at purification plants, pumping from septic tanks, rainwater pits along roads and construction sites and for pumping grey wastewater in locations such as residences, farms, commercial buildings, and industrial areas. To treat waste water, submersible sewage pumps and dewatering pumps are used depending upon the water source that requires to be pumped. In this article, let us understand the working principles, application of submersible sewage pumps and how they differ from drainage pumps. Water Source and Pump Application We know there are many types of water in commercial and institutional buildings and the kind of pumps required to handle depends upon the water source. Blackwater contains fecal matter and bacteria that are harmful. This water is usually flushed from toilets and may contain solids.Submersible sewage pumps are used for such applications.Greywater in buildings is generally wastewater from sinks and showers that does not contain fecal matter It contains much smaller solids if any at all. Stormwater or Rainwater runoff is the water that is not absorbed into the soil. Dewatering pumps can be used to eliminate water in such cases. What are sewage pumps? Sewage pumps are a type of water pump designed with a solids handling capability. They are non-clog pumps. They use a variety of impellers to reduce clogging. Sewage pumps are used for pumping sewage and effluents from residential and commercial buildings. They are widely used in pumping wastewater or water containing suspended material.   How does sewage pump work? The sewage from most residential applications is pumped from a sewage basin to a sewer system or septic tank, which can contain soft solids up to 2 inches in diameter. Centrifugal pumps used in sewage systems have a unique design that allows solids to pass through without clogging. Because they are usually submersible and situated in the lowest part of the sewage basin, they are also called submersible sewage pumps. When the pump is turned on, the motor starts rotating the impeller, creating a pressure that pushes water into the impeller and into the discharge pipe. The sewage pump is generally powered by a 10-to-25-foot electric cord. The pump housing, which houses the motor and impeller, is made of corrosion resistant material and is designed for long-term use.   Difference between sewage pumps and drainage pumps The purpose of sewers is to carry solid waste as well, while drainage is to remove excess water. Drainage can be open to air, but sewage can’t be open to air since harmful gases come out of sewers. What separates sewage pumps from drainage pumps is their ability to handle larger solids. The selection of a pump necessitates looking at the particle size that the pump can handle. If effluents from a septic tank need to be pumped, then a pump that can handle larger particle sizes would be better. Another important criterion is the total head that the pump can handle. As the head increases, the flow lessens. Frequently Asked Questions What pumps are used in sewage? Centrifugal pumps are most commonly used for pumping sewage, because these pumps can be submerged in the fluid and can handle solid matters. What is the difference between a sump pump and a sewage pump? Sump pumps are essential in many houses or buildings where flooding or water excess is a common problem. Flooding and stagnant water can damage property, materials, and the plumbing system of a building. Sewage pumps are used to remove not just water, but also wastes and other materials. What is the function of a dewatering pump? Dewatering pumps are used in construction and mining to remove groundwater or surface water to lower the water table. By lowering the groundwater level, the workers are safer and the operation is more efficient. C.R.I Waste Water Pumps C.R.I. manufactures energy-efficient wastewater submersible & surface dewatering pumps for powerful wastewater pumping applications.CRI’s SL and SLC series are widely used sewage submersible pumps. The commonly used dewatering pump for pumping out flood water is CRIs DL and DLS series.The cutter series from CRI is used in handling waste from food and beverage industry and hospitals.

Centrifugal Pumps

/ / Buyers Guide, Residential

Introduction of centrifugal Pumps A centrifugal pump transfers fluid by applying rotational energy from one or more driven rotors, called impellers. Fluid enters the impeller’s axis and exits it along its circumference by centrifugal force through its vane tips. Pump impellers increase the fluid’s velocity and pressure while directing it towards the outlet. Casings are designed to restrict fluid from entering the pump, direct it to the impeller, then slow and control it before discharging. Working Principle of Centrifugal pumps The impeller is the critical component of a centrifugal pump since the fluid enters and exits at the impellerDepending upon the fluid that needs to be transferred, impeller design varies. The impeller is connected through a drive shaft to a motor and rotates at a high speed and accelerates the fluid out through the impeller vanes into the pump casing. A pump casing can have a volute design or a diffuser design. Diffuser designs can be customed for specific applications. Volute cases are better suited to applications where fluids have entrained solids or high viscosity fluids.   Classification of centrifugal Pumps In order to select a centrifugal pump, specific characteristics and application requirements should be taken into consideration. Some of them are discussed below: Stage Classification of centrifugal pumps based on stage defines the number of impellers. Single-stage centrifugal pumps, as the name suggests feature a single impeller. The construction is simple and can be easily maintained. Single-stage centrifugal pumps are designed typically to handle the large flow rate of the liquid and are commonly used in low-pressure applications. Two-stage centrifugal pumps comprise of two impellers and are used in applications where medium pressure is a requirement. Multi-stage centrifugal pumps feature more than three impellers and are used in high-pressure applications. Split case Centrifugal pump split case construction defines how the centrifugal pump develops pressure. In an axial split case centrifugal pump, the impellers exert pressure by pushing liquid parallel to the pump shaft. In a radial centrifugal pump, the pressure is created by pushing the liquid perpendicular to the pump shaft. Suction type The suction type of a centrifugal pump determines how fluid enters the impeller. In a single suction pump, fluid enters only through one side of the impeller, and in a double suction centrifugal pump the fluid enters through both sides of the impeller. Shaft A Horizontal pump shaft is positioned horizontally and these centrifugal pumps are easy to install and maintain. As the name suggests vertical pumps have the shaft placed in a vertical plane. They have a unique shaft and bearing support configuration. They are mostly coupled to the motor.   Advantages of Centrifugal Pumps Centrifugal pumps are versatile pumps and can be used in a wide range of industries and applications such as agriculture, chemical processing, food and beverage processing, mining, municipal and industrial wastewater management, and manufacturing. They are reliable and easy to maintain. They are widely used in industries that move large volumes of fluid with low to medium pressure.

Swimming pools are an excellent addition to any backyard, offering a place to cool down and relax during the hot summer. However, to ensure that your pool is safe and clean, it’s important to choose the right pump. Many factors come into play while choosing the right pump, for example, the size of the pool, the pump’s flow rate, efficiency, the type of pump, etc. So, here’s a 5-step guide to help you choose the right pump for your home swimming pool   Step 1: Determine the Size of Your Pool The first step while choosing the right pump for your swimming pool is to determine the size of your pool. This is important because the size of the pool will dictate the size of the pump that you need. A larger pool will require a larger pump, while a smaller pool will require a smaller pump. You’ll also want to consider the number of features in the pool, such as waterfalls or fountains, which will also impact the size of the pump required. You should also consider the volume of water that needs to be pumped through the filtration system. Total dynamic head (T.D.H.) is the resistance to flow that the pump must overcome. The higher the T.D.H., The more powerful the pump will be needed. Step 2: Consider the Flow Rate The flow rate of a pump is measured in litres per minute (L.P.M.). It’s important to choose a pump with a flow rate that matches the size of your pool. The higher the flow rate, the more water the pump can move, which is important for keeping the pool clean and clear. Additionally, it’s important to consider the flow rate considering the size of your pool’s filtration system. A smaller/larger filtration system will support a lower/higher flow rate to effectively filter the water. Step 3: Decide the Type of Pump Two main types of pumps are commonly used for home swimming pools: single-speed and variable-speed pumps. Single-speed pumps operate at one speed, while variable-speed pumps can operate at different speeds. Variable speed pumps are generally more energy efficient, but they can also be more expensive. Step 4: Consider Energy Efficiency Swimming pool pumps are known to be energy-intensive, so it’s important to consider the energy efficiency of a pump before making a purchase. Look for a pump that is energy star-rated, or has a high energy-efficiency rating. Also, consider a pump with a built-in timer – to turn off the power automatically after a scheduled period. You should also consider pumps that come with flow rate adjustment features to save energy. Check the power consumption in watts of the pump for energy efficiency. This will help to save money on your energy bills in the long run. Step 5: Check Prices, Warranty, and After-sales Support When selecting a pump for a swimming pool, it’s important to consider several factors such as flow rate, price, warranty, after-sales services, part availability, and energy efficiency. Compare prices of different pumps and ensure that the company you select provides quick installation and on-site maintenance services. Check the availability of replacement parts and consider the energy efficiency of the pump. It’s important to research and consult with experts before making a final decision to ensure you are getting the best pump for your needs and budget. Formulas to Help You The following steps will help you find your swimming pool volume and flow rate quickly. Step 1: The formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular pool is Length x Width x Depth. For a pool that is 20m long, 8m wide and 1m deep, the volume can be calculated as 10 x 5 x 2 = 100 cubic metres. In case the pool is circular, the formula to calculate the volume is V= πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the pool. Step 2: To convert the volume of a pool from cubic metres (m3) to litres (L), multiply the volume by 1000. (1 Metre cube = 1000 litres) For the worked example of a pool that is 10 m long, 5 m wide and 2 m deep, the volume is 160 cubic metres (m3). To convert it to litres it would be 100 x 1000 = 100,000 litres. Step 3: To calculate the flow rate, divide the total volume of the pool in litres by the time it takes to fill the pool. For the worked example of a pool with a volume of 100,000 litres, which takes 8 hours to fill completely, the flow rate would be 100,000/8 = 12,500 litres per hour (L/h). Step 4: To match the flow rate of the pool with one of the pump options available, the flow rate in litres per hour (L/h) must be converted into litres per minute (L/m). To do this, divide the flow rate in L/h by 60. For the worked example of a pool with a flow rate of 20,000 L/h, the flow rate in L/m would be 12,500 / 60 = 208.3 L/m. This value will match with one of the pump options available in the SMP or SWIMM range. Summary It is important to determine the size, flow rate, type of pump, energy efficiency, price, and warranty and after-sales service before selecting a pump. And by following this 5-step guide, you can be confident that you are making the right choice for your home swimming pool. If you are in the market for swimming pool pumps, explore C.R.I. pumps.

/ / General Guidence, Listicles

India is endowed with vast solar energy potential. The National Institute of Solar Energy has assessed the Country’s solar potential of about 748 GW assuming 3% of the wasteland area to be covered by Solar PV modules. Solar power installed capacity reached around 72.02 GW on 30th October 2023. Solar water pumps are becoming an increasingly popular option in the agricultural industry and for a good reason. This article will discuss the advantages of using solar water pumps for irrigation, the types of solar water pumps, the PM-KUSUM Scheme, and the salient features of C.R.I. solar pumping solutions. What is a Solar Water Pump? A solar water pump is a type of pump that runs on solar energy. It consists of solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity, which is then used to power the pump. Solar water pumps are an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional diesel or electric pumps which are contributing to the rise of CO2. They are easy to set up, require minimal maintenance, and have a long lifespan. Solar water pumps can be used for various applications, including irrigation, livestock watering, and drinking water supply. Advantages of Using Solar Water Pumps for Irrigation One of the main advantages of using solar water pumps for irrigation is that they are cost-effective. Traditional diesel or electric pumps require fuel or electricity, which can be expensive, especially for small-scale farmers. Solar water pumps, on the other hand, use solar energy, which is free and abundant. Solar water pumps also have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance, which further reduces their long-term operational and maintenance costs. Another advantage of using solar water pumps is that they are eco-friendly. They do not emit harmful pollutants, making them an ideal option for environmentally conscious farmers. Types of Solar Water Pumps and Their Applications There are two main types of solar water pumps: submersible pumps and surface pumps and are available in both AC / DC models. Submersible pumps are used to pump water from wells or boreholes, while surface pumps are used to pump water from lakes, rivers, or other surface water sources. Submersible pumps are more efficient and can operate at higher heads and lower discharge of water compared to Surface Pumps. However, they are also more expensive and require a well or borehole to be installed. Surface pumps, on the other hand, are cheaper and easier to install but have a lower operating head with a higher discharge of water. PM-KUSUM Scheme (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) This scheme is aimed at ensuring energy security for farmers in India, along with honoring India’s commitment to increase the share of installed capacity of electric power from non-fossil-fuel sources to 40% by 2030 as part of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). The Scheme consists of three components: Component A:Under this component, solar or other renewable energy-based power plants of capacity 500 kW to 2 MW can be installed on barren or uncultivable agricultural land. Agriculture land is also permitted under this scheme provided that solar plants are installed in slit fashion (i.e. raised structure for installation of solar panels) and with adequate spacing between panel rows for ensuring that farming activity is not affected. Component B: Under this Component, farmers can replace their existing diesel-powered agriculture pumps with standalone solar pumps of capacity up to 7.5 HP in off-grid areas. Pumps of capacity higher than 7.5 HP may be allowed, however, the central subsidy will be limited to the subsidy applicable for the pump of 7.5 HP Component C:Under this Component, farmers can solarize their existing grid-connected agriculture pumps of capacity up to 7.5 HP. Solar PV capacity up to two times of pump capacity in kW is allowed under the scheme. However, States may choose to allow lower solar PV capacity, which in no case will be less than the pump capacity in HP. The farmer will be able to use the generated solar power to meet the irrigation needs and the excess solar power will be sold to DISCOMs. Who is eligible for the PM-KUSUM Scheme? Component A: Individual farmers/ group of farmers/ cooperatives/panchayat/ Farmer Producer Organization (FPO)/Water User associations (WUA). The land on which the project is proposed to be installed should be within 5 km of the nearest electricity substation. Component B: Individual farmers, Water User Associations, and community/cluster-based irrigation systems will be covered under this component. Component C: Individual farmers, water user associations, and community/cluster-based irrigation systems will also be covered under this component. Benefits of Solar Water Pumps in Agriculture The benefits of using solar water pumps in agriculture are numerous. Reduce the cost of irrigation, which can be a significant expense for farmers.
