Pump "Kama": types, features of the device

Any private house, whether it is a summer residence or a huge mansion, because of the lack of central water supply, needs a water pump. The most common brand in the post-Soviet space is the Kama pump.

Due to its technical characteristics and features, pumps of this brand can have several different types and models. So, there are submersible, automatic, surface and even hand pumps. We will become acquainted with the main characteristics of each of the listed species.

Submersible pump

Pumps of this type can be further divided into several types. The main ones are:

• Vibrating . Such a water pump "Kama" is simple in its device, but at the same time it is able to supply high power, while consuming little electricity.
• Drainage . Used to remove water from the cellars of cellars, as well as to remove liquid from the wetland.
• Centrifugal . This type of pump "Kama" is able to pump any liquid from any source (thanks to power and excellent technical parameters).

The application of a particular type depends on the specific conditions. So, it is possible to use vibrating-type pumps at a depth not exceeding 10 meters.

The most common among the surface is the Kama-10 pump. Thanks to its reliability and long service life, it has earned the trust of more than one generation of people.

In most cases, vortex and centrifugal pumps do not have a self-priming function. But this fact can be eliminated by setting the ejector for this.

Mechanism of action of the pump

In order for the Kama pump to start working, its housing must be filled with water higher than the axis it has installed. When the pump motor is turned on, the liquid from the filled ejector, passing through the lower part of the housing, enters its inlet. In this way, water is circulated inside the pump itself. She picks up the air that comes from the suction device. Therefore, at first, the head supplied by the pump is small. As the air is removed from the system, the jet increases.

Which pump is better to use at home?

To ensure the house with hot and cold water it is better to use a surface pump "Kama" monoblock type. The advantage of such devices is that they can pump a liquid whose temperature is 110 ° C. The power is relatively small, which is why excessive noise is not present during operation. Such monoblock water systems are often used to automatically maintain pressure in the water pipes of cottages and country houses. Thanks to them, the water supply system functions according to the same type as in the city.

Thus, water pumps "Kama" are designed for both domestic and industrial applications. Due to their reliability together with high technical characteristics, they rightfully gained their high reputation both from professionals and from ordinary truckers. In a word, pumps "Kama" - devices for ages!
