DC Powered Pump

DC Powered Pump as the name suggests uses direct current to run the pump. This pump uses direct current from motor or solar power to move fluid in a variety of ways. These pumps are widely used in a variety of general industrial and commercial applications. These pumps are used to move liquids such as acids, chemicals, lubricants and oil, as well as water, wastewater, and potable water.

How does a DC powered pump works?
As already said, the DC powered pump runs either with motor power or solar power. Motorized pumps use hand-operated, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic motors and operate on 6, 12, 24, or 32 volts of DC power. Solar-powered DC pumps use photo voltaic (PV) panels with solar cells that produce direct current when exposed to sunlight. Many DC powered pumps also use centrifugal force or positive displacement to move fluids.

Types of DC Powered Pump:
There is a wide variety of special DC powered pumps such as:

• Drum Pumps
• Macerator Pumps
• Sump Pumps
• Bilge or Ballast Pumps
• Micro Pumps
• Sampling Pumps
• Magnetic Drive Pumps

Applications of DC Powered Pumps:DC powered pumps are used in a variety of industries and applications. They are as follows:

• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Food Service
• Medical Industries

Uses and Features of DC Powered Pumps:

• DC powered pumps are available with a range of different specifications and features.
  
  
• he pumps vary in terms of maximum discharge flow, minimum discharge pressure, inlet size and discharge size.
  
  
• There are adjustable speed DC pumps which can operate at speeds selected by an operator.
  
  
• Continuous duty DC pumps maintain performance specifications at 100% duty cycle.
  
  
• There are run dry DC pumps which can operate without pumped fluid or external lubrication for an extended period of time.
  
  
• Some DC powered pumps are corrosion-resistant and explosion-proof.
  
  
• There are some who are configured to pump sticky or stringy materials.
  
  
• DC powered pumps can move media either horizontally or vertically depending on the direction of the pump stator or rotor assembly.
  
  
• Some DC powered pumps move combustible or corrosive fluids, while others transport non-liquid gas or air media.
