plungrörspumpar

Plungrörspumpar, also known as piston pumps, are a type of positive displacement pump. They utilize a reciprocating piston or plunger within a cylinder to move fluid. The operation involves a cycle of suction and discharge. As the plunger retracts, it creates a vacuum, drawing fluid into the cylinder through an inlet valve. On the forward stroke, the plunger compresses the fluid, forcing it out through an outlet valve.

These pumps are known for their ability to handle high pressures and viscous fluids. They are also capable of precise metering, making them suitable for applications requiring accurate fluid delivery. The design is relatively simple, contributing to their reliability and durability. Plungrörspumpar can be driven by various power sources, including electric motors, engines, or manual operation.

Common applications for plungrörspumpar include hydraulic systems, high-pressure cleaning, metering chemicals, and pumping in oil and gas industries. They are also found in some types of irrigation and water supply systems where consistent pressure is needed. Maintenance typically involves checking and replacing seals and valves to ensure optimal performance. The efficiency of a plungrörspump is generally high, especially at higher pressures.
