What is a piston fluid pump used for?
Piston pumps can be called one of the oldest inventions of mankind. Even the Greek inventor Ctesibius in the III century. BC NS. used a pump with two pistons to extinguish a fire. Since then, piston pumps have undergone many changes, but their principle has remained unchanged. Currently, piston pumps are used in water supply systems, in the food and chemical industries, and in everyday life. Diaphragm pumps are used, for example, in fuel supply systems for internal combustion engines.
Pump device:
The basis of the unit is a metal cylinder, in which working processes with liquid take place. The physical manipulation is performed by a plunger in which valves are provided; in simplified form, the function of such units resembles a conventional syringe.
