6 FAQs about Positive displacement solar water pump

How do you design a solar water pumping system?

When designing a solar pumping system, the designer must match the individual components together. A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1.

How to choose a solar water pumping system?

The type of solar water pumping system: borehole/well (submerged), floating or surface will depend on the water source. If the source is a borehole (proposed or existing) or deep well, then a submersible pump that fits the borehole or well should be selected. If the water source is a river, then a surface pump should usually be selected.

What are the components of a solar water pumping system?

A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1. Note: Motor and pump are typically directly connected by one shaft and viewed as one unit, however occasionally belts or gears may be used to interconnect the two shafts.

What is photovoltaic pumping?

The photovoltaic pumping has turn out to be one of the most favorable fields in photovoltaic applications. For a standalone PV system there are mainly two types of pumps: centrifugal and positive displacement pumps. In the centrifugal pump, the rotation of an impeller forces water into the tube.

How do positive displacement pumps work?

Positive displacement pumps work by drawing a known amount of water into a chamber, and then pushing it out again through the mechanical action of the pumping elements. Pressure actuated valves ensure that the water flows only in the right direction. Figure 8 shows how positive displacement pumps can be further classified.

What are the applications of solar water pumping?

There are many possible applications for solar water pumping, especially when considering that the pump can be combined with energy storage or other types of generation to make it more versatile. However, this guideline is related to solar only systems.
