Abstract

Water is an absolute necessity for the survival of life, because without water there will be no life in this world. The need for water is not a problem for areas that are close to water sources or are located under springs. In accordance with the laws of physics, water will naturally flow from a high place to a lower place, but in reality the land surface is not always flat, there are hilly and bumpy areas. If the area is higher than the water source, it will be difficult to get a sustainable water supply. One of the efforts to fulfill water needs in locations that are higher than the springs is by using a water pump. The types of pumps commonly used today are electric motor-powered water pumps or oil-fueled water pumps (diesel or gasoline). For urban areas, the need for fuel is not a problem. Meanwhile, in rural areas, fuel is very scarce and very expensive. The problem is the layout/position of the Input-Compressor-Waste (IKL) is still considered the same as the position of the Input-Waste-Compressor (ILK) and has no effect on the efficiency of the hydraulic ram pump performance. The purpose of this research is to design and make a hydraulic ram pump and to test those two positions (IKL and ILK) with variations in the volume of the compressor tube, so that it can be seen which position is the most ideal to produce the most optimal and efficient hydraulic ram pump performance. The methods used were a site survey, literary study, action method by designing a hydraulic ram pump installation and observing the effect of layout/position (IKL) and (ILK) with variations in the volume of compressor tube (6350 ml, 7230 ml and 8114 ml) and 3 variations of waste valve weight (130 grams, 190 grams and 357 grams) through the performance of the hydraulic ram pump. The result of this study indicated that the largest pumping discharge occurred in the compressor tube volume of 2800 ml and 5500 ml with a waste valve weight of 130 grams, 190 grams and 357 grams, which were 0.081 liters per second and 0.080 liters per second in the ILK hydraulic ram pump arrangement. The smallest average waste discharge occurred in the ILK hydraulic ram pump arrangement, which was 0.311 liters per second while in the IKL hydraulic ram pump arrangement it was 0.327 liters per second. The greatest efficiency according to D’Aubuisson and Rankine occurred in the compressor tube volume of 2800 ml, which increased from 120% and 75% in the IKL position to 127% and 81% in the ILK position.
