Working principles and applications of Sprague pump in the industrial sector The retrospective of the industrial sector reflects a major advancement in the field of industrial science. The industrial infrastructure has witnessed a series of interesting changes, and the equipment that we see now results from avant-garde engineering practices and classic physics principles. Especially the Sprague pumps, hydrogen compressors, fitting adaptors, etc., have undergone rigorous evolution to reach near equal to perfection and increase efficiencies. How do Sprague pumps work? The Sprague pumps work on the positive displacement principle. These pumps follow the rule of positive displacement to convert air-drive pressure into hydraulic discharge pressure. Using low-pressure air or gas, the pumps drive a large area piston that drives a small area liquid piston to produce high hydraulic pressure. Greater pressure levels can be achieved as the ratio between the liquid piston, and the air drive piston increases gradually. When the Sprague pumps are functional, they reciprocate swiftly until the liquid pressure of the system comes near to the desired level. The air regulator setting is used to determine the pressure, and then the system is slowed to a halt when the air-driven forces and the liquid discharge reach equilibrium. To hold the liquid-air balance, minimal energy consumption is provoked with no increase in parts movement or fluid temperature. The best part is the pump can automatically restart if the inlet air-drive pressure is increased or the liquid discharge pressure is degraded. Applications of the pump Compared to other types of hydraulic pumps, the Sprague pump is cost-effective and has many energy-saving benefits in the industrial as well as R&D sector. With its simple and operational design, the Sprague pump is used in a variety of industries. Some of these applications are listed as follows: #1 In Hydrostatic Testing Applications. As the air-driven pumps offer economic advantages for pressure testing of valves, hoses, and fittings, the time-saving and performance perks of the pumps are used in hydrostatic testing applications. #2 In product machinery applications. Sprague pumps deliver high-pressure liquids needed by production machinery for clamping, holding, shearing, etc. So they are used in product machinery where the work stroke is short, and high pressure is needed. #3 As a power source. The Sprague pumps are relatively small and can be installed as test equipment in separate locations or on individual machines. They can be mounted to eliminate the need for a central power system, excess hydraulic power capacity, and long plumbing runs. Summing Up Just like the Sprague pumps, ultra high-pressure valves, Haskel Pumps, Amplifiers, GP 50 transducers, and several other types of equipment find a wide array of usage in the
industrial sector. The key to state-of-the-art machinery and high-end products that we see in the market lies in these small fittings. Whether you work in the industrial sector at the base level or the top supervising your engineers, get the equipment from the right manufacturer to complete projects seamlessly.
