Diesel-driven pumps (motorized pumps)

Purpose of diesel-driven pumps

Diesel engine-driven pumps (pumping stations) or, as they are commonly called, “diesel motor pumps” are designed to move water and other media that are close to water in terms of their chemical properties and viscosity. Today, diesel pumps are widely used in the agricultural, mining, construction, and chemical industries, in the operation and repair of various types of communications, in rescue operations, and in the domestic sphere. Despite the fact that diesel pumping stations have a somewhat specific purpose, limited to the function of pumping water, there are many areas where they are actively used:

• pumping water from lakes, reservoirs, wells, pools, and pits;
• pumping out liquid in case of emergency conditions of sewage systems;
• eliminating the consequences of floods and natural disasters, drying out flooded basements and premises;
• irrigation/watering of agricultural land, greenhouses, garden areas, and private household plots;
• fire extinguishing (creation of backup systems);
• water supply and sewerage.

If you decide to buy a diesel-powered pump, pay attention to the important fact that this type of unit, depending on its application, is available in two versions – standard and resistant to any type of corrosion. In addition, it should be remembered that diesel motor pumps are divided into three categories, depending on performance and the degree of fluid contamination:

1. With a two-stroke low-power engine and a capacity of up to 10 cubic meters per hour (clean water or with a slight degree of contamination, i.e. with inclusions no more than 5 mm in diameter).
2. With a four-stroke engine and a capacity of up to 100 cubic meters per hour (clean water and water with a medium degree of contamination).
3. With a powerful diesel engine and high pump capacity of up to 4000 cubic meters per hour (heavily contaminated water/liquid with impurities up to 80 mm, including gravel, sand, silt, gravel, etc.)

Design of diesel-driven pumps

Consider the design of a diesel-driven pump. The unit consists of two elements mounted on a frame (or wheeled chassis): the centrifugal pump itself and a diesel engine (drive). The pump engine is equipped with:

• a power supply system equipped with a remote fuel tank and a coarse filter;
• a cooling system with a built-in water radiator;
• exhaust gas discharge system with integrated exhaust silencer;
• an air intake system equipped with an air filter;
• electrical equipment system equipped with a control panel.

The process of adjusting the operation of a diesel motor pump is carried out by increasing or decreasing the speed of the drive shaft using the control lever.

Advantages of diesel-driven pumps over other types of pumps

Pumping equipment driven by a diesel internal combustion engine, which is in great demand in many areas and industries, has a huge number of advantages, the main ones being:

• compact dimensions;
• high mobility of diesel motor pumps;
• high efficiency;
• simple and low-cost operation and maintenance;
• high level of wear resistance and durability of operation with regular and high-quality maintenance;
• the ability to install the diesel pump in almost any terrain;
• the possibility of multiple switching on;
• no need for an electricity source;
• maximum efficiency of the diesel pump drive is achieved with minimum fuel consumption per unit of energy produced;
• drive with high and even torque, which allows you to work with heavily contaminated liquid media, including thick and viscous ones;
• ability to work with intermittent liquid media and airborne particles;
• self-priming mode of operation.

Disadvantages of diesel-powered pumps

Despite all the obvious and significant advantages of diesel pumping equipment, one should not lose sight of its disadvantages, albeit few in number:

• Significant noise during the operation of the unit;
• when a diesel pump is connected to a drive through a manual transmission, its power and efficiency are lost;
• additional maintenance costs for the diesel engine.

Dalgakiran sells and leases high-capacity diesel motor pumps (for industrial applications) from such well-known manufacturers as Gorman Rupp (USA) and Ferbo (Italy). Depending on your requirements, our qualified specialists will select the necessary pump that will best suit your needs.
