The main characteristics of fecal pumps
Pumps of this type come in two types: drainage and fecal. The drainage pump set is used for pumping waste liquids without any blockages. The fecal pump, analyzed and described in this article, is used for pumping out treatment water contaminated with various solid materials. Further in the article, specific features of fecal pumps and their specific features will be described, as well as selection criteria.
As already mentioned above, fecal pumping devices are used for pumping sewage, in which solids are present. For the transfer of these substances in the structure of the product there is a chopper. It grinds the solids, which prevents the pump elements from clogging, thereby preventing clogging of the suction nozzles. Fecal pumping devices are of the following types:
- Devices for pumping cold water without a chopper. This type of pump can be used when working with cleaning elements, the temperature of which is not more than 40 degrees. They can be pumped out of basins and other reservoirs of this type.
- Devices for pumping hot water without a chopper. The water temperature with which this unit can operate is not more than 90 degrees. They can pump out the water from the cellars, in which the heating pipes burst.
- Cold water devices with chopper. Can pump out liquids contaminated with solid elements. The fecal pump can operate at a water temperature of no higher than 40 degrees. The most common subtype of pumping aggregates of this type. Well suited for evacuation of cleaning elements from storage collectors.
- Hot water device with chopper. Works at a water temperature of up to 90 degrees. The specifics of the application are rather narrow.
Types of fecal pumps
The typology of fecal pump pumps is based not only on the specific liquids that they can pump out, but also on the specifics of their operation. For this reason, these devices are divided into:
- Submersible.
- Semi-submersible.
- Outdoor.
Each type of fecal pump will be analyzed and characterized separately.
Fecal submersible pump
Fecal pumps are installed on the bottom of the tank, from which it is necessary to pump out contaminated water. This device works automatically. The signal elements of automation are floats. As soon as they reach a certain level - the unit starts working. The installation technique of the submersible drainage pump device:
- A nozzle is attached to the bottom of the tank, from which the pump is planned to be pumped.
- On the walls of the tank are attached drain guides.
- A cable is attached to the device, by means of which it will be lowered to the bottom of the tank.
- The device descends to the bottom and is attached to the pipe. The fixing of the pump set takes place by means of its own weight.
If necessary, the product can be easily removed from the tank using a pre-installed cable.
The submersible form of fecal pumping devices can be used not only for pumping sewage out of the storage reservoir. With the help of this equipment, it is possible to organize the drainage of sedimentary sewage, as well as to irrigate various plantings on the plot of land.
Fecal pump semi-submersible
This type of pumping device is installed in this way: the suction part is immersed in a contaminated liquid, and the part that contains the engine is above it. The degree of contamination of treatment water with which this product can work is limited. The possible diameter of the solid particles in the treatment water can not be more than 15 mm. This kind of drainage pump device is well suited for cesspools of private houses and homesteads.
Fecal surface pump
This type of drainage pump equipment is located outside the tank. The suction element is a hose that is immersed in the manifold. The convenience of using this device is its high mobility. This type of drain pump has a low power motor. The diameter of pollutants in sewage can not be more than 5 mm.
Thus, the article described and analyzed the main characteristics of fecal pumps. Their main types and types were also shown and characterized.
