DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF DUAL PUMP SYSTEM BY USING SCOTCH YOKE MECHANISM

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The aim of the project Is to design and develop a dual side water pumping system using scotch yoke mechanism. The reciprocating motion of the plunger is utilized for the pumping action. The plunger is reciprocated with the help of a cam plate. By this action the water is pumped with very high pressure and to various heads. This can be utilized for various applications like lubrication in machines and water pumping in agriculture field. The cam plate gets the drive from the motor for its rotation and converts that rotary motion to useful dual side reciprocating motion. The motor is powered with the aid of electric power. Thus the water is pumped from source to various head Increasing the productivity is one of the main requirements of production engineering in any kind of manufacturing industry. Either by reducing the operation time or by improving the capability of the machine to produce the components in an increased number at the same time is very essential for an industry to achieve the same. This project employs the Scotch yoke mechanism in water pumping machine which enables it to pumping water from two pumps at a time there by improving the productivity. In today’s world time a machine should be less time consuming. Pump fill one piece at one time so there was a loss in production rate. Double acting water pumping overcomes this time consuming problem. Double acting water pumping system fills two material simultaneously by its scotch yoke mechanism, so the production rate increase twice then that of pump. Double acting water pumping works under by the scotch yoke mechanism. The scotch yoke of mechanism convert the rotary motion into the reciprocating motion.
