Reciprocating Pump animation | Construction and working | Learn Mechanical

Reciprocating pump is a hydraulic machine which converts the mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. It does this work by sucking liquid into a cylinder containing a reciprocating piston which exerts a thrust force on the liquid and increases its hydraulic energy ( pressure energy of liquid). It is a type of positive displacement pump which consists of piston or plunger. Piston is present in a cylinder in which it does reciprocating motion. It is used at a place where relatively small amount of water is to be delivered at higher pressure.

During suction stroke, the piston moves backward and this opens the suction valve making the water enter into the cylinder. During suction the delivery valve remains closed and no water is discharged through it.
After suction stroke, the piston moves forward, delivery valve gets open and suction valve come into close position. As the piston moves forward it exerts thrust force on the liquid and it starts escaping out of the cylinder through delivery pipe. The water from the delivery pipes reaches to its required destination.
