“…Hasil pemompaan satu unit pompa ini akan mampu melayani kebutuhan air bersih sekitar 125 jiwa penduduk (25 KK). Dalam mendesain dan membuat pompa hydram akan diimplementasikan desain baru pompa hydram dengan katup limbah dan tekan sesuai hasil penelitian Suarda dkk. (2018), dimana model baru katup tersebut dapat memberikan unjuk kerja yang optimal, dan mudah dioperasikan dan dipelihara/diperbaiki.…”

Paper ini menginvestigasi pengaruh massa katup limbah pompa hydram yang telah didesain dan dipasang untuk menyalurkan air bersih ke perumahan penduduk di wilayah Munduk Gunung Desa Petang. Fasilitas umum yang tersedia masih minim. Salah satunya adalah belum tersedianya fasiltas pelayanan air bersih masyarakat, dimana masyarakat masih menghandalkan air hujan atau membeli air tangki. Sesuai dengan nama wilayahnya permukiman ini berada pada dataran tinggi (512 m.dpl), sedangkan sumber air yang tersedia berada di dataran rendah (410 m.dpl) dengan perbedaan elavasi 102 meter. Jarak dari mata air ke reservoir adalah 600 meter melalui tebing yang terjal. Hasil survei awal menunjukkan bahwa mata air tersebut mempunyai kapasitas aliran sekitar 3 liter/detik dan potensi terjunan/head 4,5 meter. Pompa hydram telah didesain, dibuat, dipasang dan dioperasikan yang didukung pendanaannya melalui hibah pengabdian PNBP Universitas Udayana skim PUMA. Pengujian unjuk kerja pompa hydram telah dilakukan pada lima variasi massa katup limbahnya. Pengujian performansi menunjukkan bahwa pompa hydram ini mencapai performansi optimalnya pada massa katup limbahnya 3.25 kg. Pada kondisi optimal tersebut pompa hydram ini beroperasi pada efisiensi totalnya 95% dengan debit pemompaan 0,115 lt/dt atau 9,94 m3/hari) pada ketinggian elevasi pemompaan 102 meter, dengan nilai ekonomi yang dierikan mencapai Rp. 17.885.000 per bulan. Jadi dengan biaya investasi sekitar Rp. 42.500.000 dan hampir tidak membutuhkan biaya operasional karena tidak membutuhkan bahan bakar atau energi listrik maka tentunya pompa hydram ini sangat menguntungkan untuk diaplikasikan.

“…The first suggestion was given by John Whitehurts in 1772, but it was not feasible until Joseph Montgolfier, a French inventor, made ram pumps in 1796. Guo et al (2018) have conducted a lot of experimental studies for optimum performance which performance of hydraulic ram pumps (hydram) has been performed by researchers Krol (1951), Schiller (1984), Browne (2005), Suarda (2018), Dhaiban (2019) in various countries by fabrication of hydram and feasibility analysis. Various studies were carried out to understand and simulate the functioning of a hydram (Sheikh et al, 2013;Deo et al, 2016;Hussin et al, 2017).…”

Both energy and environmental conservation have been major issues in today’s world. Conventional pumping devices use a huge amount of energy. This gave rise to interest in alternate pumping devices like hydraulic ram pumps. The hydraulic ram pump is capable of pumping water higher than its source with some inlet pressure and velocity head. It works on the principle of the water hammer effect which occurs due to sudden stoppage of flow resulting in the rise in pressure. Since it uses just two moving parts it is mechanically very simple, has very high reliability, minimal maintenance requirements, and long operational life. In rural areas where unconventional energy suffers from various limitations, emphasis is given mainly to the use of unconventional forms of energy. It is designed on the principle of conversion of the potential energy of water into kinetic energy and further conversion into pressure energy to lift water to some desired elevation without the use of electricity, motors, generators or batteries and that is the main advantage for opting this technology. It can operate autonomously, requiring minimal maintenance and having a long lifespan. Additionally, it is a green energy concept, environment-friendly, producing no emissions or pollutants. But, as it runs from the power of water itself in the form of waste water, efficiency is found to be minimal, rendering its limited scope. Hence, it is a need-based approach for maximizing its performance by providing a sustainable and efficient water pumping solution. The vital components of this technology have been detected which play a pivotal role in its performance. These are called influencing parameters. This paper investigates the effect of influencing parameters specifically–the horizontal distance between the pressure chamber and to waste valve (HD) on the performance and the overall efficiency of the Hydraulic ram pump (hydram). Both experimental and simulation studies were done in order to achieve the justification. Five sets of prototypes have been designed and tested individually for experimental and analytical studies. The maximum efficiency comes out to be 79 % with a flow rate of 140 L/hr for optimized HD of 17 cm. The results obtained from the experimental investigation are further simulated with comsol multiphysics for final validation. The experimental study and Comsol multiphysics simulation validate the proposed model and confirm its justification.

“…Recently, the interest in HRP for water supply has been renewed due to the awareness of the adverse impact of climate change and the needs of sustainable technology, especially in remote areas of developing regions. 2,3 Comparisons and reviews dealing with HRP systems can be seen in Watt, 4 Eric, 5 Browne, 6 and Matthias et al 7 A comprehensive study on operation and performance in HRP has been published by Young, 8 Mbiu et al, 9 Suarda et al, 10 and Asvapoositkul et al 11 Several studies have been done to investigate HRP especially the effect of impulse or waste valve on the pump performance. The opening and closing of the waste valve are due to the flow velocity under the action of the supply head.…”

The combined pump and hydraulic ram pump (HRP) was presented to evaluate the technical feasibility for increasing pump head. This method was used to demonstrate a possible low-cost alternative solution to supply water in remote areas. It illustrated the case where energy in rivers was not enough to drive HRP and a pump alone could not lift water to the required head. The HRP was connected in series with the pump. The experiment on the combined system operation was investigated. The system was working only at a certain range of flow rates for a power supply by the pump. Therefore, HRP was adjusted to pump water in the range that the waste valve was functioning. The combined system can operate at a low flow rate with a high head without extra energy and no overloading. It reveals that the more discharge head is required, the less flow can be lifted which results in a high number of valve beats per minute of the waste valve. Experimental determination of the optimal values for these parameters will make it possible to provide for a feasible design of HRP in the given pump. The optimal HRP will make it possible to ensure the required performance (delivery, head, efficiency) of the combined system.
