DESCRIPTION:- The Set-up is designed to study the Hydraulic Ram. Hydraulic

RAM is used for pump little quantity of water to high head from a large quantity of

water available at low head. It works on a principle of water hammer stating that

“When flowing water is suddenly stopped in a long pipe a pressure wave travels

along the pipe creating an effect of water hammer”. The Set-up consists of a pipe

section fitted with a pulse valve and non-return valve, a supply reservoir on a

stand which is connected to an overhead tank, an air vessel above the valve

chamber smoothes cyclic fluctuations from the Ram delivery. Different pressure

may be applied to the pulse valve to change the closing pressure and hence the

operating characteristic.

EXPERIMENT:-

–   To find out discharge of useful water and waste water.

–   To find out the efficiency of the Hydraulic RAM

FEATURES:-

–   Closed loop water circulation 

–   Compact & stand alone set-up

–   Stainless Steel tanks and wetted parts
