The Starting Point to Properly Sizing a 油池泵

The Starting Point to Properly Sizing a 油池泵

A sump pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a water-collecting sump basin, commonly found in the basements of homes. The sump pump’s purpose is to transfer water away from the interior of the building or home. This solution provides many benefits, including the following:

• Prevents flooding from rainwater
• Keeps basement humidity levels low
• Reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth
• Keeps floodwater out of basement
• Improves indoor air quality by reducing humidity levels
• Removes groundwater from exterior walls of the building/home when tiled properly

水泵是如何工作的? The pump sits in a sump pit, which is usually installed at the lowest point of the basement. The water that drains into the pit triggers the sump pump via a float switch, thus removing the water by pumping it into a storm drain, 或者保留池. As a common fixture in most homes at this point, a sump pump is a simple and small solution to what could lead to a big long-term problem. However, the effectiveness of the pump may rely on how well its sized for the application.

An incorrectly sized sump pump, or a pump that is not installed properly, will most likely lead to inefficiencies. 例如, 当水泵太大时, the pump is forced to work harder, resulting in a shorter product lifespan. 但是如果它太小了, the pump may not be able to adequately pump out the water – resulting in a shorter lifespan or not meeting the demand. Continue reading to learn the information required to properly size a sump pump that can then be applied to find the manufacturer’s performance curve that matches best:
 

• 泵容量需求
  • 步骤1: On a very wet, rainy day, the sump pump must be run until the water recedes to the shutoff level. Wait for one minute with the pump off and then measure how far the water rose during that time.
    • Since typical sump pits measure around 18” in diameter, every inch of water inside the pit amounts to approximately one gallon. If you have a 24” sump pit, then 1” of water is equivalent to about two gallons.
  • 步骤2: Multiply the number calculated from step 1 by a ‘safety factor’ of 1.5 to figure out the pumping capacity needed.
• 海拔高度
  • The elevation is the height that water has to travel as it moves through the discharge pipe. Measure the vertical distance from where water enters the sump pump to the highest point of the discharge pipe.
• 摩擦损失
  • Water flowing through piping will lose head pressure depending on factors, 比如管道的尺寸, 管道长度, 管道类型, 配件数量, 流速.
• 总动力水头(TDH)
  • Defined as the total pressure or head the pump must develop. The TDH of a sump pump is the sum of elevation and friction loss.

The installation of a sump pump to a home or building can lead to many benefits – but only if it’s properly sized for the application.
