Abstract

Hydraulic ram pump is one of the easiest and most environmentally friendly systems that no internal power is needed to drive water. This study investigated the performance of hydraulic ram pump system using alterative materials of air chamber, i.e. PET bottle and PVC pipe were examined in the laboratory. It was found that the hydraulic ram pump system the deliver flow rate Qd, and the pump efficiency increase with increasing of supply head, Hs. Furthermore, the efficiency of 70% and a minimum of 30% occurring at a discharge of 5.5 L/min and 0.5 L/min respectively. The system using PET bottle as an air chamber performed better than PVC pipe materials. Thus, the hydraulic ram pump had the potential to be used to manage the problems related to the acceptable water for drinking, agriculture and many more
