Underwater low pressure water hydraulics

In summary, the conversation is about the search for an industrial sump pump with a DC motor that can handle 60 feet of water and has a flow rate of 10 gallons per minute at 50 psi. The suggestion is to try ThomasNet.com and to also call and talk to companies directly as they may have options that are not listed on their website. Asking for recommendations from salesmen can also lead to finding a suitable pump.

I'm after a dc waterproof water pump that can handle at least 60 feet of water, around 10 gallons a minute flow rate at 50 psi. finding this combination seems to be a real problem.any ideas?

Hi monet. Welcome to the board. It sounds like you're looking for an industrial sump pump. The tough part may be finding one with a DC motor, but I'm not an expert on these types of pumps. I'd suggest trying ThomasNet.com for this. Here's a couple leads:
http://www.thomasnet.com/nsearch.html?cov=NA&what=Pumps:+Sump&heading=64970601&navsec=prodsearch
http://www.thomasnet.com/nsearch.html?cov=NA&heading=95998399&sa=64970601&navsec=relbox

Also, it's important to call and talk to them, don't just look at the web page and decide the company doesn't have anything. Many companies will not have everything they can offer on their web site, and many companies will modify some standard pump they have to accommodate your requirements. If the salesman you talk to doesn't have what you want, ask him if he knows of any company that does. Often times, they'll make some good suggestions since they're in the business, and if they don't have what you want, and if they're not the kind of company that will do a 1-off, they will generally know enough about their own industry to know who might make what you're looking for.

I understand the challenges of finding a specific combination of features in a piece of equipment. In this case, the combination of a DC waterproof water pump that can handle 60 feet of water depth, a flow rate of 10 gallons per minute, and a pressure of 50 psi may be difficult to find.

One possible solution could be to look for a submersible pump specifically designed for low pressure water hydraulics. These pumps are designed to withstand the high pressures and depths of underwater environments. Additionally, it may be helpful to consult with experts in the field or reach out to manufacturers for recommendations on specific models that meet your requirements.

Another option could be to consider using a pump with a higher flow rate and pressure, and then using a regulator or valve to adjust the flow and pressure to your desired levels. This may require some experimentation and fine-tuning, but it could be a viable solution.

Overall, it may take some research and creativity, but there are likely options available that can meet your needs for underwater low pressure water hydraulics. It may also be helpful to consider factors such as cost, durability, and energy efficiency when making your decision.
 

Related to Underwater low pressure water hydraulics

What is "Underwater low pressure water hydraulics"?

"Underwater low pressure water hydraulics" refers to the use of water as a hydraulic fluid in underwater applications. This technology is used to power various types of equipment, such as subsea robots and remotely operated vehicles.

How does "Underwater low pressure water hydraulics" work?

The basic principle of underwater low pressure water hydraulics is similar to traditional hydraulic systems, where a fluid is used to transmit power. In this case, water is used as the fluid and is pressurized using a pump. The pressurized water is then directed to a hydraulic motor or cylinder, which converts the pressure into mechanical energy to perform work.

What are the advantages of using "Underwater low pressure water hydraulics"?

One of the main advantages of using underwater low pressure water hydraulics is that it is environmentally friendly. Water is non-toxic and does not pose a threat to marine life. Additionally, water is readily available and does not require storage and disposal like other hydraulic fluids. It also has a high power-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for use in deep-sea applications.

What are the limitations of "Underwater low pressure water hydraulics"?

One limitation of underwater low pressure water hydraulics is that it is not suitable for high-pressure applications. Water is not compressible, so it cannot generate high pressures like other hydraulic fluids. Additionally, water can freeze at low temperatures, making it challenging to use in cold environments.

What are some real-world applications of "Underwater low pressure water hydraulics"?

Underwater low pressure water hydraulics is commonly used in offshore oil and gas operations, where it can power subsea equipment such as valves and pumps. It is also used in underwater construction and maintenance, such as repairing pipelines and installing underwater structures. Other applications include scientific research, marine exploration, and underwater vehicles for military and commercial purposes.
