Fabricação e Estudo de um Carneiro Hidráulico de Baixo Custo

Abstract

The use of hydraulic ram as an option for pumping represents one of the widely used hydraulic applications, where there is a water source. This study has as objective build a hydraulic ram, using tubes and connections of Vinyl Polypropylene (PVC). The manufacturing and assembly processes of the alternative hydraulic ram and test results that diagnose the feasibility of the proposed and manufactured prototype are presented. The tests performed were for three flow rates, and the volumetric yields and the water wastes were determined. The volumetric flow values found after the experiments do not show a disagreement with those presented in the literature, which for similar hydraulic ram would be in the range of 22 to 45 liters for min. Highlight the low cost of the manufactured prototype, around 120 reais.
