Misting Pump System is a Must for Greenhouse

Misting systems of greenhouses supply and maintain adequate humidity, filter the air, neutralize odors and reduce dust pollution. Controlled, intermittent misting minimizes the moisture lost by plants in the greenhouse while avoiding condensation on the leaves, preventing the growth of mold and fungus. However, continuous misting is a waste of water. This practice ultimately drains essential nutrients from the plants’ leaves and decreases the soil temperature, preventing proper root development. Therefore, you must us the misting pump system with caution. Installing a misting irrigation system is a good way to get water to your plants in your greenhouse and save money as well.

These systems use as little as three gallons of water per hour. When putting your system together, use nozzles that adjust from one gallon per hour for cooling to three gallons per hour for misting seeds and plant cuttings. When installing a misting system, you should take notice about some environmental factors firstly. Environmental factors such as the amount of shading, ventilation and daily weather variation during warmer seasons determine what level of moisture the greenhouse must achieve to maintain deal conditions. Preventing the plants from overheating in a greenhouse is as important as protecting them against frost damage; both quickly kill them. However, too much humidity results in rot and disease, so plants should be watered only as necessary.

How High Pressure Pump Effects the Industry?

There are different types of pumps, and the high pressure pump will be focused in the article with some simple explanation and personal experiences. 

In general, the high pressure pumps are used to generate high fluid pressures to measure, inject and displace fluids accurately.  A high pressure pump can generate high discharge pressure in excess of 800 psi, which means this moderate pressure pump can generate pressures between 800 and 3000 psi.  Common type of the pump used for applications are reciprocating positive displacement pumps, especially plunger pumps.  The plunger pumps are capable of handling various applications easily.  Others like reciprocating pump or quintuplex plunger pumps can also easily be found in pressure applications in the industry. 

Most devices that have found widespread adoption in high pressure applications are the hydraulically driven amplifier or intensifier.  The intensifier consists of a common rod connecting two pistons with different bore sizes, and the idea of making the pump works is to use the larger piston to cause some fluid cats to move the smaller piston.  Based on their construction and working, the two intensifier are separately termed as single shot and reciprocating intensifiers.  When the larger one return to the original position, the smaller piston moves back and takes in the suction by a spring or air-retraction. 

With numbers of applications of the high pressure pump, I would like to share experiences with using high pressure washers, which is powered by high pressure pump.  I used to run a small business of my own, and there were some waste recycling machines in my plants.  At first, I have no idea how to clean the machines efficiently.  One day, a friend of mine recommends me a washer with high pressure generator.  It is surprisingly easy to discharge impurities and grease from the surfaces of those recycling machines.  But cleaning in heavyweight industry is not the only application; instead, it can also be used to automobiles cleaning, boast a maximum pressure level and even clean commercial buildings.  So it is important to choose the right washers before you invest the machine.  You don’t want to waste your money on the wrong equipment, do you?

 

Advantages of Using Misting Pumps

There are a number of advantages that come with using misting pumps. For starters, they help lower temperatures in your backyard. They make the hotter summer period bearable by supplying cool mist which make you enjoy the ambience. A portable misting fan is of benefit to a person who wants to mist a small area. With these accessories, you do not have to go to crowded hot beaches unless you really want to.

When purchasing a portable misting fan or misting pumps to use by your swimming pool, make sure that they are of impeccable quality. The only way you are going to avoid the problem mentioned above is if the misting system you acquire is of quality. There are several manufacturers of these products and thus getting top quality ones will not be a problem as long as you are vigilant and you carry out some research before settling for any portable misting fan. Quality misting pumps will last longer because they will not rust at a higher rate thus forcing you to replace the system sooner than anticipated. The same case applies when it comes to purchasing high pressure washers.  In addition, consider the size of the misting pumps before buying.

The size will depend with the size of your backyard and how frequent are you going to use the pumps for misting. There are various sizes and you can ask the supplier for professional advices. Misting pumps do run on power and thus you should endeavor to find out how much power a pump uses before purchasing. Other things to keep in mind when ordering misting pumps is their noise level, minimum mist output per certain amount of water, ease to use and the design. 

 

 

The Reasons for Choosing the Air Pumps

It is not difficult to find air pumps in the market, and different kinds of pumps can be chose depending on your application.  For example, large pumps are suitable for heavy industries yet quiet pumps are perfect for house.  Focusing the target around our life, the appliance we mostly encounter with the application of air pumps is refrigerator. 

Unlike the other pumps which function with the moving liquids or gases, the air pump is operated by the use of the air outside.  The pumps always work with the air compressors by providing enough energy to compress the air.  The compressors work in the refrigerator play the role of raising the temperature of the air comes from outside.  The temperature of the air will cause the liquid starting boiling while the liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator coils.  The whole process requires a mass energy to obtain the air from outside can pass through the coils.  

So basically, the tremendous quantity of the energy may directly cause the huge noise while working.  The air pumps can somehow play the role of minus the noise as possible as they could.  The key part to control the pump is the piston since the piston can provide enough pressure as the requirement of the air pump, even if the pump is in small size.  With good quality of the pistons, you will find it’s easy to choose pumps with different sizes and functions from industrial to personal. 

 

A Great Experience with Misting Pumps

Recently my parents moved into a house with a big backyard.  The reason why they move is because they are fond of gardening, especially after the retirement from both of them.  I think it’s a good thing for them to cultivate the healthy habit, so I start to help them to do the gardening on weekends.  At first, I feel that the gardening is like a piece of cake.  But the truth is, watering and keeping the soil in certain moisture are tiring.  Regarding the age of my parents, I have to find some other ways to help them.  That is why I choose the  misting pumps as the little assistant. 

The research on the Internet is not easy since there are numbers of manufacturers supplying the misting equipment.  However, I discovered one who seems quite experienced in agriculture equipment, and it turned out that the misting pumps from their factory are in fine quality; most importantly, they offered various of types for you to choose from.  So I purchased the pump and set it in the backyard.  One thing I like about the pump is that it has automatic pressure valve to control the consistency of the pump pressure, and it also has the circuit breaker as a safety parameter when the voltage is way too high from the standard number.  

Except for the gardening usage, my parents also find another advantage of using it.  When the weather is getting hotter, they find that the backyard is always cooler than any other place in the house.  They even consider holding a BBQ party in summer, and they are not worried about the temperature when they have the misting pumps as a huge air conditioner.  So the fact is that, I spent the money on not only a good gardening tool but also a cooling system.  This is really like the old saying from ancient China: Kill two birds with one stone.  

 

Application of the Screw

In our life, we all know that screws have many applications, and it really play an important role around us.  Aside from applying screws to fasten the desk or the glass, there is another usage of the screws, but in a heavy way.  That is, the screw compressor, a device that requires two huge screws as the rotors to compress the gas.  The two rotors can be categorized into male and female type, which need highly precision made to make a perfect alignment while working.  Generally, the screw compressor tends to run smoothly with limited vibration.  In this way, the need of spring suspension is unnecessary. 

As for the screw compressor, there are some schemes to control the device and none of them is the most perfect one.  So when you are choosing the compressors, just remember to follow your need.  The control schemes include start/stop, load/unload, modulation, variable displacement and variable speed.  Among all of the schemes, the variable speed may be the one for you if you are looking for lowest operating energy cost without appreciable deduction.  However, just like I mentioned before, there are some disadvantages.  Since it provides for a linear relationship between the power consumption of the compressor and the free air delivery, this kind of screw compressor becomes useless in harsh environments. 

There is another device similar to the screw compressor, and it can convert power into kinetic energy.  Since it generates the energy by compressing air, it is called air compressor.  The types of the compressor pump can be divided into two: oil lubed lubed and oil-less, and the tips for choosing each one of the compressor is to remember that the oil-less type is more expensive and last for less time than the oil lubed type.

 

Applications of Pumps

Pump is one of the most important devices in our life.  Without a pump, we can hardly move the fluids especially when they are underground.  It can displace a volume by physical or mechanical action.  Each pump has its purposes and functions.  In history, the very first pump was found in Europe, a piston pump, in c. 1450.  Pumps were early used for windmill or watermill to pump water.  Nowadays, the pumps are generally applied to irrigation, gasoline supply, refrigeration or air conditioning system.  There are many different types of pumps, and their names usually go to the method for moving the fluid like air pump, gravity pump, hydraulic ram pump or rope pump.  Normally, the pumps are rated by horsepower or flow rate. 

Among all of the applications, one of the modern applications is compressed-air-powered pump, also known as air pump.  Namely is powered by compressed air.  They are normally used for any kind of duty, from pumping water to pumping hydrochloric acid from secure storage.  Other type of the pump is to handle oil, and normally we call it as pumpjack. This kind of oil transfer pump is mainly to lift liquid out of the well.  You can see the pumpjack shows up in some oil-rich areas because they are designed to solve the problem when there is not enough bottom hole pressure for liquid or oil to flow to the surface.  The oil transfer pump can also be used to drive for the hand-pumped water wells.   The idea is typically using the parallel-bar to lift the driven from a low horsepower electric motor
