What is a beam pump?
beam pump is a type of pump that usually occurs in the oil fields and is often called several different names. For the beam pump, names are commonly used that nods donkey, a horse pump or suction. The machine, which is also called the pump for the pedestrian beam, takes its name from the unique pumping movement that produces the exposed pump elements. The pump uses a drive engine called Prime Mover to power the pump. Prime Mover can be driven by natural gas or diesel, but the most common type of energy is electricity. It uses the rotating energy of the main mover, which is converted into a vertical pumping action, to draw liquids up and out of the ground. The pump, which is often called drinking drinks, looks like a bird that puts its head in the water over and over again.
When a heavy horse component has to be left, the pumping rod is pushing down into the liquid base of the well. Prime Mover powered Counterweight up and over the axle where gravity takes over control and pulls you outthe ravine counterweight down. When counterweights are pulled downwards, they enforce the pumping rod up in the hole and effectively pump liquid from the well.
The first version of the beam pump operated with horizontal bars extending from one central engine towards several pumps. Pumping movement and efficiency were difficult to control with this system because all pumps worked with different pressures. The operator was forced to sacrifice part of the pump efficiency of a good producer to balance the poor production of a smaller producing well with this type of system. It was found that the use of individual main mover for each well would result in better production of the well, which would eventually be more lucrative for the wells.
The beam pump technology is not only used on oil wells. SevPro pumping water is also used eral types of beam -style pumps. This type of pump is runningthem preferred in distant areas due to lack of energy available on site in JAKU. Wind energy is often the most common method of powering the water beam pump. This allows the handles to be attached to the pumping mechanism, so in a period without wind the pump could be operated manually for water production.
