I need to introduce variable pressure into a system. I was planning on using piston pumps which if i run at low rpms would result in controlled fluctuating pressures. Am i doing something wrong?
banerjeerupak said:I am working on an experiment where i would like to see how the system responds to pressure fluctuations.
I tried using a stepper motor and a cam arrangement to create pulses in the pipe carrying water to the system. However, I can't get higher frequencies of pressure oscillations.
I have flow rates in the range of 0.01 to 0.09 ml / min. I have a syringe pump to take care of that. However, I am unable to figure out how to introduce pressure oscillations into the system.
That is when i thought a piston pump working at low rpm may do the trick. The pressure need not be fixed, but should be consistent.
Hope this info is more adequate.
Thanks
Variable pressure refers to the ability to adjust the pressure level of a system or device. In the case of a piston pump, this means being able to control the amount of force applied by the piston. This is important because it allows for more precise and efficient operation of the pump, as well as the ability to handle different types of fluids or materials.
A piston pump works by using a piston to create pressure and move fluid or material through a system. The piston moves back and forth within a cylinder, creating suction on one side and pressure on the other. This pressure forces the fluid or material through the pump and into the desired location.
There are several advantages to using a piston pump with variable pressure. These include more precise control over flow rates, the ability to handle different types of fluids or materials, and increased efficiency and reliability. Additionally, variable pressure allows for better customization and adaptation to changing conditions.
Piston pumps with variable pressure are commonly used in industries such as agriculture, oil and gas, manufacturing, and water treatment. They are also useful in applications that require precise control over fluid or material flow, such as dosing and metering.
While piston pumps with variable pressure have many advantages, there are also some limitations and drawbacks to consider. These may include higher initial costs, maintenance requirements, and the need for skilled operators. Additionally, some types of fluids or materials may not be suitable for use with a piston pump.
