Reciprocating Pump: Definition, Parts, Working, Types,

In this article, we will learn all the basic details of the Reciprocating Pump along with definition, parts, function, working procedure, discharge flow rate, work done, power, slip, derivation for acceleration head, etc. This pump is a widely used positive displacement pump in many industries where high delivery pressure is required. In this kind of pump, the piston moves forward & backward and mechanical energy is converted into hydraulic energy. Let’s explore in detail!

What is Reciprocating Pump? Definition

Reciprocating Pump Basics

Do you want to learn all about the Reciprocating pump? We have already got the basic idea about the positive displacement pump. Reciprocating Pumps are one kind of Positive Displacement type pump. It works based on the ‘to and fro’ movement of the piston/plunger etc. in,

• forward direction which is called forward stroke and
• backward direction which is called backward or reverse stroke and increase the pressure of the liquid. As piston or plunger moves in ‘to and fro’, motion, i.e., reciprocating action, these pumps are called reciprocating pumps.

We will see different types of reciprocating pumps here later on, however, to simplify & easy understanding, a piston arrangement reciprocating pumping system has been opted. We will discuss the basics of reciprocating pumps with a lot of examples & diagrams. A single-acting reciprocating pump is the simplest reciprocating pump. Here, we will consider the same for an easy explanation as well as understanding.

Single-acting means only a single side of the piston is acting. It consists of One number (1) piston, One number (1) suction pipe, One number (1) suction valve, One number (1) delivery pipe and One number (1) suction valve

Reciprocating Pump Definition

The reciprocating pump means a machine or especially a hydraulic machine that converts mechanical energy or electrical energy into hydraulic energy. So, what are these energies?

• Mechanical energy means the energy which is created by the motion of mechanical device or position of the device.
• Hydraulic energy means the energy which is created by the water.

Reciprocating pumps are used when a certain quantity of liquid needs to be transported from the lower level to a higher level. Higher-level means pressure should be high enough. In this case, a certain volume of liquid is collected within the pump enclosed area and increased the pressure in line with requirements. There are so many places, where high-pressure with low-volume pumps are required. So, what to do? It’s simple! Select Reciprocating pumps!

Reciprocating Pump Example & Explanation

If you observe oil filling in the car in any petroleum station, you need to know that there are some big tanks or reservoirs in the underground. This big tank is filled with oil. But when we go to fill our car fuel oil tank, that time we see that the fuel from the petroleum station is coming from the nozzle. Here, fuel is coming from the underground tank to the nozzle. In-tank, the pressure of fuel is very less but when it is injected into the car, the pressure is very high. This is due to reciprocating pumps that are installed between.

History of Reciprocating Pump

It was long ago; Egyptians have invented the shadoof in 2000 BC. Later, a Greek inventor as well as mathematician, Ctesibius invented a basic pump. It consists of one water source, an air pump, valves, a tank, and a row of pipes.

Parts of Reciprocating Pump and Functions

Reciprocating pumps are used in many industries as well as our few home applications too. Now, whatever the application, a reciprocating pump or pumping system consists of several parts.

The various important parts of the Reciprocating Pump are as follows.

• A sump of liquid, or water sump or water reservoir
• Strainer
• Suction Pipe
• Suction Valve (non-return valve)
• Cylinder or liquid cylinder
• Piston or plunger and Piston rod
• Piston rings
• Diaphragm or membrane
• Plunger
• Packing
• Crank and Connecting rod
• Delivery valve (non-return valve)
• Delivery pipe
• Suction and delivery flanges
• Air Vessel or Pulsation Dampener
• Driver

The explanation for the parts of the Reciprocating Pump are as follows:

Water Sump or Liquid Sump: What is Sump in Reciprocating Pump System? Sump means a reservoir or a simple language, a source of water or liquid. We need to transfer Water or liquid from one place to another by this pump. It means there should be some water or liquid or fluid, which needs to be transferred. This fluid is stored or kept in a sump. We have considered water here as a circulating medium, however, just keep in mind that this pump can handle liquid as well as gases based on applications.

• Fluid is sucked by the pumps from the sump. Later on, water is undergoing a process by the piston within the pump cylinder.
• Finally, it is transported to the delivery pipes and ready for application.
• No water in the sump means no water in the pump intake; hence, the pump will not be in action.
• This is not part of the reciprocating pump but it is a part of the pumping system

Strainer: What is Strainer in Reciprocating Pumping System? We all know that if the water is having dirt or dust particles or solid particles, or other pollutants, the same will be entered within the pump cylinder.

• These unwanted foreign particles can jam the cylinder, and reduce efficiency.
• In short, this problem will affect the working principle of reciprocating pumps.
• It can clog the suction pipe as well as choked the delivery.

To avert this problem, a wire mesh is provided at the end of the suction pipe to prevent the entrance of these foreign particles from the sump to the cylinder.

Let’s see the importance of strainer in the reciprocating pumping system,

• Without a strainer, dirt will come into the system, and impact on the workability of pumps.
• This is also not a part of this pump, but it’s a system requirement.

Suction Pipe: What is Suction Pipe in Reciprocating Pumping System? We got a water sump, now this sump needs to be connected to the pump basically the main body (cylinder) of the pump. There is a pipe that is connected and helps to suck the liquid from the sump to the pump. This pipe is known as a suction pipe. Since it is on the suction side of the pump & helps to suck, this pipe is known as the suction pipe. There is a valve in the suction pipe. Without a suction pipe, the pump will not be connected with the reservoir, hence, the pump will not work. It is also a part of the system.

Suction Valve: What is Suction Valve in Reciprocating Pumping System? The suction valve is fitted in the suction pipe. Why is the suction valve important? What will be the problem if there is no suction valve? Let me explain, the purpose of this valve.

• This valve allows liquid from the water sump to pump only not the reverse flow to the reservoir.
• Hence, no return will be encountered in the reservoir.
• Due to this no return philosophy, it is called a non-return valve.

So, the flow will be always in one direction. If there is suction, then only this valve will be opened. This valve will be closed during the discharge of liquid to the outside.

• If this valve is not provided, during the discharge there will be a backflow of liquid to the sump which is not acceptable.
• It is a Part of the pumping system

Cylinder or Casing: What is Cylinder in Reciprocating Pump? This is a hollow tube-shaped cylinder known as the body or the casing of pumps. This is commonly fitted with a metallic lining referred to as a ‘cylinder liner‘. The liner helps for the smooth operation and is replaceable when it becomes worn and inefficient.

• This cylinder is consisting of piston and piston arrangements and it is the main portion where water is undergoing a change of pressure.
• This cylinder may be made of cast iron, or steel, or any other suitable material based on the applications. In case of dosing system, this cylinder can be made of Stainless Steel like SS316L as well.
• It is the main part where the piston or piston rod is accommodated and acted for pump action.

Piston and Piston rod: Piston and piston rod arrangement is the main workforce in the cylinder. A piston is a solid type cylindrical part and moves forward and background inside the cylinder, to perform suction and delivery of liquid.

In the case of the suction:

• the piston moves back inside the cylinder
• the piston moves in the forward direction for discharging liquid

Now, to move backward and forward of the piston, there is a rod that helps the piston to have continuous linear motion.

• If the piston is not there, the pressure of the liquid will not change, and if the piston rod is not there.
• The piston cannot move or acts.

Piston Rings: The piston head is fitted with the piston rings for sealing. It helps to seal against the cylinder lining and minimize internal leakage. It is mandatory for the smooth operation of reciprocating pumps.

Diaphragm or Membrane: The reciprocating pump doesn’t mean only piston arrangements, it can be with diaphragm or membrane as well. That pump is called diaphragm or membrane pump.

Diaphragm or Membrane means a flexible part normally made of rubber or Teflon and can have reciprocating action. To simplify this concept, in the cylinder or chamber where the diaphragm is installed, it will create the chamber into two parts.

• One side is having air or any other hydraulic fluid which will be compressed
• Another side is having the fluid which needs to be pumped
• Movement of the diaphragm can be mechanical or electrically driven.

When the diaphragm moves towards the air or hydraulic fluid, there will be low pressure and fluid to be pumped enters and after that diaphragm moves towards the pumping fluid & pressure increases so that fluid will be delivered into the destination.

Plunger: The function of the plunger is the same as a piston. This plunger is reciprocating and makes the action of the pump. Instead of piston and piston arrangement, a single cylindrical part is sliding within the cylinder through the sealing. The plunger can be two or multiple in the reciprocating pump based on the applications. This plunger can create very high pressure.

Packing: The piston is moving backward and forward continuously in the cylinder. Hence, a packing is required to seal the joint between the piston and the cylinder tightly to prevent leakage of liquid from the cylinder. Improper packing may create many problems in reciprocating pumps:

• Problem in lubrication
• Excessive friction.
• Misalignment of piston or piston rod
• May cause wear
• Reduce the efficiency of the pump etc.

Crank and Connecting Rod: The crank is the metallic part of the pump.  It looks like a solid circular disc and it is connected to the power source. 

• The power source can be the engine or the motor, etc.
• The name connecting rod simplifies that it is connecting something. Here, it is connecting the crank and piston.
• Normally for large pump, it is used. Else, piston rod connects the piston & crank.
• When the engine or motor rotates, the crank also rotates.

Due to this rotation, the connecting rod converts this rotary motion into linear motion into the piston.

Important: Connecting rod makes the connection between the Crank and piston. It changes the crank rotational motion into the linear motion of the piston. Don’t be confused between piston rod and connecting rod. The differences between piston rod and connecting rod are as follows:

Piston Rod	Connecting Rod
Piston rod connects piston and crank or crankshaft	In small pumps or engines, the piston rod & connecting rod is the same. However, for large pumps or engines, connecting rod connects the piston rod and crank or crankshaft.
It is very common for all types of the reciprocating pump where piston assembly is used.	It comes into the picture for large pumps or engines.
Applications: Small pumps	Applications: Large pumps mainly where the crankshaft is away from the piston

Delivery Pipe: When the liquid comes out from the pump the delivery pipe comes into the picture. The delivery of water from the outlet of the pump to the desired place is the main purpose of the delivery pipe. Importance:

• If the delivery pipe is not there, the pump cannot deliver the required liquid at the desired locations.
• Part of system

Suction & Delivery Flanges: Discharge pipe, as well as suction pipe, needs to be connected to the pump. Now, how are these pipes connected? Here comes, suction and discharge flanges. These flanges are attached to the pumps as an integral part of the reciprocating pump and pipes are connected with the help of bolts. There are flexible connections between flanges and pipes so that the pump vibration will not be transmitted to the piping system.

Delivery valve: The delivery valve, like the suction valve, acts as a non-return valve and it is placed in the delivery of pumps. Like the suction valve, a delivery valve is also a Non-return valve.

• During the suction of the pump, the delivery valve is closed and
• During Discharge, there will be a pressure of a liquid and the suction valve is closed
• In the same way, due to pressure, the delivery valve is opened to transfer the liquid.
• The delivery valve is essential. If it is not there, the pump will not work properly & in case of a pump stop, backflow will happen which is very dangerous for pump health.
• Part of system

Air Vessel or Pulsation Dampener in Reciprocating pump

What is Air Vessel or Pulsation Dampener? An air vessel is basically a chamber or container which contains two halves, the upper part consists of compressed air and the lower part consists of water. The bottom has one hole which is connected to a suction or discharge pipe. Both the parts are separated by one diaphragm and it can be flexible based on the pressure difference.

How Does Air Vessel or Pulsation Dampener Work? There are frictional heads in both suction and discharge pipes, and these all need to be removed from the system to have a uniform discharge rate by reducing the acceleration head. Air vessels are related to each suction and discharge pipe and offer a uniform discharge rate.

Let’s see how does air vessel or pulsation dampener works? Acceleration head means the head which is developed by the fluid acceleration. We know that the flow from the reciprocating pump is pulsating type.  Hence, a separate air vessel consisting of water, as well as compressed air, is considered.

Compressed air is at the top side of the vessel and water is at the lower side. Compressed air is used as it can easily expand or contract to absorb the pressure fluctuation. The air vessel is basically working as a reservoir and is mainly used to stabilize the pulsating flow. As this vessel is used to stabilize the pulsating flow, it is called a pulsation dampener.

• Pressure increase: In case the water pressure is increased, water is forced to enter into the air vessel and compressed air will be compressed.
• Pressure decrease: In case the water pressure in decreased, water is required in the pipe to maintain the required pressure in the pipe. Here, compressed air force the water to enter into the pipe to maintain the pressure.

As we need a stable flow, the pump is always designed in such a way that fluid reaches to the delivery side through the air vessel.

What are the Functions of Air Vessel in Reciprocating Pumps? The main functions of air vessels are as follows:

• To get the discharge flow at continuous rate.
• Air vessel in supply or discharge pipe helps to reduce the flow separation.
• Reduce the probability of cavitation.
• It changes the pulsating flow into continuous flow.
• It reduces the frictional head
• It reduces the acceleration head.
• It makes the pump energy efficient by reducing power consumption.
• It will not have any problem to increase the length of suction pipe below air vessel.

Driver: Let’s try to understand what is the driving mechanism? How does this piston or plunger, etc. move? There is one drive system. Normally, an electrical motor is used, however, in case of a big reciprocating pump, the engine is used as a driving mechanism. Hence, we have got an idea about the basic parts of a reciprocating pump. Let’s try to understand the working philosophy of the reciprocating pump!

How Does Reciprocating Pump Work? Diagram

Working Principle of a Reciprocating Pump with Animation

The reciprocating pump consists of a piston in an enclosed cylinder, crank, piston, connecting rod. Connection details are as follows:

• The connecting rod is one of the main parts of the pump and it connects the crank and the piston.
• Crank connects the driving motor or the driving machine and connecting rod.

Due to the rotation of the crank, the piston also moves forward and backward inside the cylinder by means of a connecting rod.

• Pumps or the cylinder are connected to the suction pipe with a non-return suction valve and discharge pipe with a non-return discharge valve.
• Non-return valve means it will not allow the liquid to flow in the opposite direction.
• The suction valve allows liquid from the suction pipe to the cylinder only.
• In the same way, the delivery valve allows liquid from the cylinder to the delivery pipe.
• When the crank starts its rotation, the piston will start moving in the cylinder.

A nice Animation of Reciprocating Pump has been created just to understand the working process.

Reciprocating Pump Working Procedure with Diagram

Let’s analyze, working procedure of the reciprocating pump in a few steps:

Step #1: The crank is at point A; it will make an angle θ=0º with respect to the horizontal line. Look at the image, the piston is at point P, extreme left side, inside the cylinder.

Step #2: When power will be supplied to the reciprocating pump, the crank will start to rotate by the electric motor. When A moves towards point C, the angle increases, and the piston will move towards the right in the cylinder. When A reaches at point C, the angle becomes angle θ=180º and the piston reaches to point Q.

When the piston moves towards the right side, a partial vacuum will be created left side of the cylinder. Vacuum means the pressure, which is less than the atmospheric pressure. As the vacuum pressure is the main driving factor for entering the fluid into the pump, it is correlated with force and this pump is also called a Force Pump as well.

Now, on the suction side of the pump, the surface of the water is having normal atmospheric pressure. Since the cylinder creates a vacuum or less pressure than the atmospheric pressure, the liquid will be forced into the suction pipe of the pump. This liquid then opens the suction valve and enters the cylinder.

Step #3: When the crank rotates from C (θ=180º) to A (θ=360º), then the piston will move from the extreme right position towards the left side in the cylinder. When the piston starts to move the left side, it will increase the pressure of the liquid inside that region and that will be more than atmospheric pressure.

Due to that pressure, it reaches to the delivery pipe via a delivery valve. Now, since the valve is a non-return type, water will not be back. Hence, the crank changes its rotational motion into linear motion and makes the movement of the piston inside the cylinder.

Step #4: Due to this higher pressure, the Suction valve will be closed, and the delivery valve will be opened. Hence, the liquid is forced into the delivery pipe through the pump outlet and raised to the required height.

What are the Types of Reciprocating Pump?

Reciprocating pumps are classified into a few categories based on, Mechanism, Air vessel, Numbers of cylinders. Let’s try to understand the brief description of each type of reciprocating pump.

Based on Mechanism Reciprocating Pump Types

Single-Acting Reciprocating Pump: As the name suggests, a single-acting reciprocating pump means, only one side of the piston is acting to produce work.

• ‘Single’ implies one delivery pipe, delivery valve along with one suction pipe, suction valve.
• Only one side of the piston acts on the liquid.
• The liquid is sucked in one direction that is suction stroke and it delivers that is called deliver stroke.

Double Acting Reciprocating Pump: As the name suggests, a double-acting reciprocating pump means, both sides of the piston are acting to produce work. In each double acting reciprocating pump, there will be two suctions pipes, two suction valves, two delivery pipes and two delivers valves.

• When the piston is in between the cylinder, one side will have one suction and one delivery pipe
• Another side also will have the same things.
• It means both sides of the piston works on the liquid.

Based on Air Vessel Reciprocating Pump Types

Pump with Air Vessel

• In this case, the continuous flow of water at a uniform rate.
• It reduces the acceleration head.
• This pump accumulates water in the vessel by compressing air.

Pump without air vessel

• When the In this case, some amount of air present in the water.
• In domestic applications, these types of pumps used.

Based on Number of Cylinders Reciprocating Pump Types

Single cylinder: Here, a single-cylinder or one cylinder is connected to a shaft.

Double cylinder: In this pump, double cylinders or two cylinders are attached to a single shaft. Here, each cylinder is having separate suction and delivery system.

Triple cylinder: In this pump, three-cylinders are connected. Apart from all the above, reciprocating pump, there are three different pumps are widely used:

• Piston pump
• Plunger pump
• Diaphragm pump

Piston Pump: The piston pump is a single or double-acting pump. In a single-acting piston pump, pump sucked liquid in suction stroke and the pump delivers liquid in discharge. For example:

• Well-pumps,
• Football pumps
• Cycle pumps,

In double-acting piston pumps, both sides of the piston compress the liquid. Fluid comes in contact with both sides of the piston. These pumps can be:

• Simplex (one cylinder),
• Duplex (two cylinders),
• Triplex (three cylinders) and so on.

Plunger Pump: The plunger pump is a single-acting pump. These pumps are able to build very high pressure.

• These pumps can be vertical or, horizontal
• These pumps can be simplex or multiplex.
• These pumps are widely used for building up the highest pressure in many industries.

Diaphragm Pump: Diaphragm pumps are widely used in chemical injections and other industries.

• The operation is possible both hydraulically or mechanically.
• These can be simplex or multiplex design
• It can have variable stroke arrangements.

Diaphragm pumps are the best suitable pump when the system required zero leakage.

Two Throw Reciprocating Pump: Two throw pump means,

• It has two cylinders
• Two pistons
• There is one suction for two cylinders.
• There is one discharge for two cylinders.
• Flow rate, Q = 2 LAN/60 m³/s

Three Throw Reciprocating Pump: Three throw pump means,

• It has three cylinders
• Three pistons
• There is one suction for three cylinders.
• There is one discharge for three cylinders.
• Flow rate, Q = 3 LAN/60 m³/s

Reciprocating Pump Advantages & Disadvantage

Reciprocating Pump Advantages

There are few major advantages of the Reciprocating Pump and the same is explained:

• High pressure can be obtained at the outlet of the pump.
• The high-pressure liquid can be supplied to the desired height.
• No priming process is required in this pump except few conditions and this a one of the main advantages over centrifugal pumps.
• Reciprocating Pump provides a high suction lift since it can create high negative pressure in the cylinder.
• Air can be used as the working fluid in reciprocating pump.
• The liquid flow rate of a centrifugal pump may fluctuate but the reciprocating pump provides a steady flow rate.

These pumps operate at very higher efficiencies than other pumps, generally reaching levels of 90% or more efficiency.

Reciprocating Pump Disadvantages

The major disadvantages of Reciprocating Pumps are:

• Maintenance is very high due to the wear and tear of the components.
• The flow rate is low means discharge is limited.
• The initial cost is very high.
• These are bulky and heavy.
• It is very difficult to handle viscous liquids.
• There may be a problem in the alignment of the piston or piston rod.

Notes on Advantage & Disadvantage of Reciprocating Pump

Based on the above discussion on the advantage and disadvantages of reciprocating pumps, sometimes it is very difficult to select the pumps. There are some pros and cons for both the pumps and the following points needs to be considered:

• Location of the pump to be installed.
• Which kind of fluids to be handled.
• Type of Operation requirements.
• Type of maintenance requirements and facilities.

Reciprocating Pumps Package

In addition, when we talk about a reciprocating pump package, many components are associated with it, these are, as follows:

• Reciprocating pump that means casing, piston, bearing housing or bracket, etc.,
• Base frame,
• Driver, it may be a motor or diesel engine or turbine-driven or gas engine driven,
• All valves, suction & delivery pipes
• Strainers
• Pressure gauges or pressure transmitter to measure the pressure in suction and discharge side
• Shut off valves
• Safety valves
• Auxiliaries like sealing system, cooling system, etc.,

Reciprocating Pumps Key Notes

• In reciprocating pumps, a piston can create very high pressure and it should not be operated in a closed discharge system. A safety relief system is mandatory to prevent damage to the pump or driver against high pressure.
• The flow in the reciprocating pump is always uneven or pulsating. This can be smoothed out by using few tools like dampeners or stabilizers at the inlet and outlet piping which also protects the entire pumping mechanism.
