Some Science Behind FPA-Hydram

Design and Construction of a Hydraulic Ram Pump and generic performance

These are a selection of academic papers from around the world discussing Ram Pumps, their construction, application, performance and economics.

They discusses the formula required to calculate and predict efficiency, and the mechanical requirements of generic pumps.

As a point of interest, the pumps were developed in the modern era when an ancient Greek text was translated and found to describe a Force Pump from around 300BC

FPA-HYDRAM INstallation

Schematic and performance table

Venturo FPA Units must be supplied using 500mm pipe with a burst pressure rated to 10 times the supply head pressure.

Supply-line-length must be between 3 and 7 times the supply head.

Correct installation is critical for best performance.
We have a compact modular installation option to suit sites where a ‘long pipe’ installation is not possible.
