Pulsometer pump
Pulsometer pump
(OP)
Hi
I am trying to understand working of old Pulsometer pumps. I think I understand most of it, but can't understand the purpose of the chamber in the center. The one which is supposed to help in maintain suction.
Would love if someone can help me understand.
Also what exact kind of valves are being used in the pump. I am trying to build one myself for experimental purposes and wanted to know which valves can I buy off the shelf to use in this. The ball mechanism at the top of the neck, can I get something like that off the shelf?
Better still are there any old Pulsometer pumps I can get somewhere?
All help would really be appreciated.
Regards
Moresh

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

I am trying to build one myself. In developing countries (India, Africa) we do not have access to grid electricity all the time. A solar generated steam fired Pulsometer would help a lot in irrigation.
Now if only I am able to understand how everything goes together and what can I get off the shelf to build one.
@artisi I am referring to the water pumps

There are already solar powered pumps available.

A pulsometer has no moving parts, is simple in construction and can run off steam. It would be cheaper and easier to maintain. Less energy conversion losses would mean it would be more efficient too.
