Heat Pump ------------------------------------------------- A heat pump can provide an alternative to using your air conditioner. * Heat pumps can supply heat‚ cooling‚ and hot water. * Your climate and site will determine the type of heat pump most appropriate for your home. For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs‚ heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator‚ heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a

Heat pump From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search For theoretical background‚ see Heat pump and refrigeration cycle. Outdoor components of a residential air-source heat pump A heat pump is a machine or device that transfers thermal energy from one location‚ called the "source‚" which is at a lower temperature‚ to another location called the "sink" or "heat sink"‚ which is at a higher temperature. Thus‚ heat pumps moves thermal energy opposite to the direction that

Submersible Pump Application The system consists of a submersible pump controlled by a Danfoss VLT AQUA Drive and a pressure transmitter. The transmitter gives a 4-20 mA feedback signal to the VLT AQUA Drive‚ which keeps a constant pressure by controlling the speed of the pump. To design a drive for a submersible pump application‚ there are a few important issues to take into consideration. Therefore the drive used must be chosen according to motor current. 1. The motor is a so called “Can motor”

consider a multiple pump system to meet the design requirements. Two typical options include parallel and series configurations of pumps. Specific performance criteria must be met when considering these options. Given a piping system which has a known design flow rate and head requirements‚ Qdes‚ hdes‚ the following pump selection criteria apply. Pumps in Parallel: Assuming that the pumps are identical‚ each pump must provide the following: Q(pump) = 0.5 Qdes h(pump) = hdes Pumps in Series: Assuming

Reliability Issues – Centrifugal Slurry Pumps Introduction Pumps were probably the first machine ever developed‚ and are now the second most common machine in use around the world‚ out-numbered only by the electric motor. The very earliest type of pump is now known as a water wheel‚ Persian wheel or “noria”‚ consisting of a wheel of buckets that rotates to pick up water from a stream and dump it into a trough. Another early pump was the “Archimedean screw”‚ similar to the modern screw conveyor

Compressors are similar to pump‚ both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport a pipe. As gases are compressible‚ the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible‚ while some can be compressed‚ the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids. Types of compressors The main types of compressors are shown below: Compressor types Positive displacement Dynamic 1. Reciprocating. 2. Rotary 1.Centrifugal. 2. Axial a) Single

mechanical energy is used to produce electricity‚ the device may be called wind turbine or wind power plant - If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery‚ such as for grinding grain or pumping water‚ the device is called a windmill or wind pump. - Similarly‚ it may be called wind charger when it is used to charge batteries. A water turbine converts energy in the form of falling water into rotating shaft power. Flowing water is directed on to the blades of a turbine runner‚ creating

AUTOMATIC WATER PUMP CONTROLLER The automatic water pump controller is used to control the water pump motor. The motor gets automatically switched on when water in the overhead tank (OHT) falls below the lower limit. Similarly‚ it gets switched off when the tank is filled up. Built around only one NAND gate IC (CD4011)‚ the circuit is simple‚ compact and economical. It works off a 12V DC power supply and consumes very little power. The circuit can be divided into two parts: controller circuit and
