Have you ever wondered what a hydraulic pump is and how it works? In the following guide we will show you in detail.
What is a hydraulic pump
The hydraulic pump or water pump is a machine that is used to move masses of fluids, as in the case of water.
It works with a fluid in which a transformation takes place and mechanical and hydraulic energy is transferred. Its objective is to send the energy to a liquid for its transport in a certain installation.
In general, the hydraulic pump can increase the pressure of a liquid by adding more energy to the hydraulic system, bringing the fluid from an area of lower pressure to another of higher pressure.
How does a hydraulic pump work?
The hydraulic pump produces the flow that is needed to create the pressure. It creates a vacuum at the inlet and allows atmospheric pressure to force liquid from the reservoir into that inlet. If it is connected, the fluid pressure at the outlet will rise until it exceeds the load resistance.
What are their functions?
Hydraulic pumps allow water to rise up a building regardless of the number of levels, but they are also capable of extracting fluids from below ground, like from a well. They can also pump liquid like in air conditioning and even allow machines to move mechanical blades more easily, like in excavators.
