Reciprocating pump

Types

• Simple hand-operated reciprocating pump. The simplest example is the bicycle pump, which is used ubiquitously to inflate bicycle tires and various types of sporting balls. The name "bicycle pump" is not really the most correct term because it generates more compression than volume displacement.
• Power-operated deep well reciprocating pump

• Single-acting reciprocating pump consists of a piston of which only one side engages the fluid being displaced. The simplest example would be a syringe.
• Double-acting reciprocating pump engage with both sides of the piston, each stroke of the piston carries out both suction and expulsion at the same time. Thus it require two inflow pipes and two outflow pipes.
• Triple-acting reciprocating pump

  Examples

• Wind mill water and oil pump
• Hand pump
• Axial piston pump
