Hydraulic Ram, also called as HYDRAM, is a type of pump in which energy of large quantity of water falling a through a small height is utilized to lift small quantity of water through greater height. Here no external power is required. Such a system is used in remote areas where large quantity of water at low height is available, and where power is scare.

SPECIFICATION:
This is a demonstration type model. The hydraulic ram consists of a valve chamber. The valve chamber contains a waste water valve and delivery valve.
Water to chamber is supplied from an overhead tank and delivered through a pipe of comparatively small diameter at a height above the height of overhead tank.

The water flow is intermittent or cyclic.
1. Over Head tank 100 lit capacity.
2. Head over Ram 2m
3. Diameter of Supply pipe  50mm.
4. Diameter of delivery 15mm.
5. Valve chamber comprising of waste valve and a delivery valve.
6. A non return valve fitted in delivery pipe.

SERVICES REQUIRED:

1. Water supply in Overhead tank.
2. Floor Area 3m x 3m.
