Is it possible to run water pump on solar system?

Hi

I want to operate motor which require to collect water from land under 1300 ft. I want to run that motor on solar system rather than on electricity. I do not know how much walt needed to operate it?

can u give me your idea and information in this matter?Is it possible to run water pump on solar system?if you have a 1300 foot deep well, you will need to lift the water at some flow rate. The power needed is proportional to flow rate. so you can calculate the energy needed to lift a mass of 1 kg/min of H2O 1300 feet (396 m) the potential energy is

m*h/min = 396kg-m/min per kg water

1 watt is equal to 6.11829727787 kg-m/min

to have a flow of 1 kg/min you will need to have a power source of 396/6.11 = 64.7w for each kg of water

a gallon is about 3.6 kg, so for 1 gal/min from a 1300 foot deep well you will need about 235 watts



there will be some losses in the system and you might get 50% overall efficiency, thus you will need to have about 500 w solar power to get the flow of 1 gal per minute from a 1300 foot deep well. you can scale the power directly from the 1 gal per min example of to get your required flow.Is it possible to run water pump on solar system?There are a variety of pumps that operate on solar power.

Do a Google.

But here is one place that deals with this equipment:

How to change the water pump pontiac grand am 3.1 V6?

my car is leaking anti-freez from what look like to be the head on the back side of the block but i was told that it most likly is the water pump. I just hade the water pump changed last year by a friend. So i dont know how to replace it. It looks like the housing for the water pump is realy big, looks like it covers alot of the motor by the pullys.any help would be coolHow to change the water pump pontiac grand am 3.1 V6?I have a grand am 3.1 v6 and I had the same problem and it is not the waterpump, its a blown intake gasket which is very common on this engine , as a matter of fact it has blown it twice in 142,000 miles, better get it fixed immediately or you will be replacing the engine shortly, check your oil for water as thats where it will go.The cost of the repair is around $600.How to change the water pump pontiac grand am 3.1 V6?The water pump on my 3.1 is located on the front right corner of the block (standing at the passenger side). If you have coolant leaking from the back side of the motor it is not the water pump. Are you sure that it's coming from the block and not from a heater hose? Your heater hose's go in through the lower-middle of fire wall behind the motor(be sure to check the metal lines as well).How to change the water pump pontiac grand am 3.1 V6?If it is leaking from the back side of the block then it is more than likely not the water pump. The water pump only leaks from its mating surface to the engine block, or most commonly, through a drip hole located directly under the water pump drive shaft. A leak on the back side could be a blown head gasket. You should verify where the exact leak is before you start replacing a bunch of stuff.How to change the water pump pontiac grand am 3.1 V6?There is a weep hole on the bottom of all water pumps, this lets you know that the bearing in the water pump is worn out by dripping a small amount of coolant. Most auto parts stores will rent or let you use a cooling system pressure tester, which will pressurize your cooling system and let you look around the engine without it running or being to hot to get close to. There are plenty of manuals that will walk you through changing the pump, its really not too hard.

How do you change a water pump on a 1993 nissan quest?Go to the parts store and buy a Haynes Manual... it will show you step by step how to take it apart....

My guess would be most of your time will be spent lying on the ground....How do you change a water pump on a 1993 nissan quest?then buy a new one and get your self some tools and a repair manual at autoparts store not much to it once you see what it looks like you start removing parts that are in way til you can take it off clean the old gasket off well and but some blue selicone put on new gasket and put on new pump tighten it put back on all the parts you remove fill radiator start check for leaks should be able to do it on the weekend about three to four hours or lless... any of these will help all about the same as the other but it will give you a better ideal of how to do it and your sure to learn more about your car so doing it would be best not only you learn but you save money too... not hard to replace most parts hard part is knowing what is wrong to replace it so you got the hard part done knowing what is wrongHow do you change a water pump on a 1993 nissan quest?big,big job. get a chilton or haynes repair manual, you could order one at your local parts store if they don't have one in stock. make sure you have all the tools you need..

How to teardown and rebuild my leaking YFZ450 water pump?

thanks ive gotta 05 yfz450 and its been leaking from the weep hole. i found out that its the wate pump seal so i ordered all the parts i need and now i just wanna a lead into the right direction of how to do this? Thanks!How to teardown and rebuild my leaking YFZ450 water pump?it's really easy but if you've never done it before get a buddy to lend a hand, don;t over tighten anything and be sure to use the sealer the kit comes with if it doesn't just be sure not to kink the gasket and oring ( my 450 had one) takes about an hour to do or less. If you don't have a torque wrench they rent that at autozone. You can put in better bolts install of screws as well to make the next job easier if you ever have to do it again.How to teardown and rebuild my leaking YFZ450 water pump?..

Does anyone know just a rough guess the cost of fixing a water pump on a 2001 Ford Focus?

Supposedly on my moms car..the water pump blew up and broke the hoses...



so i was wondering how much this would cost to fix?Does anyone know just a rough guess the cost of fixing a water pump on a 2001 Ford Focus?you did not say if was a dual cam or single cam motor .labor higher for dual . water pump about 100.00 , timing belt must come off for this and you should change it. kit will have belt and pulleys needed it cost about 200.00 hoses cost about 20.00 each coolant about 10.00 a gallon labor can be from 3 to 4 hours to do most shops charge around 75.00 per hour around hereDoes anyone know just a rough guess the cost of fixing a water pump on a 2001 Ford Focus?I expect the parts (water pump, hoses, timing belt, and serpentine belt) would cost between $125 and $175 and labor would cost between $200 and $300. I know that is a pretty broad estimate but the cost will vary depending on the hourly labor rates in your area and whether the work is done by a independent shop or a dealership.

  • How do you unattach the hose to the water pump of Ford Windsar van. seems to be wedged together?

    Can't get it loose. what tool should I sure to loosen it from water pump.How do you unattach the hose to the water pump of Ford Windsar van. seems to be wedged together?If memory serves, the hose should be attached to a fitting which screws into the water pump. I think the fitting must be unscrewed and then the hose can be removed from the fitting. Usually the hose wedges into those type fittings with a small clip. Hope that helps!How do you unattach the hose to the water pump of Ford Windsar van. seems to be wedged together?Pry it off with a flat head screwdriver.

    Can someone eplain to me how the water pump works on an outboard motor?

    i took off the lower unit to fix the gears. im not sure ill be able to put it back on with out knowing how things work in there.



    so how exactly does the water get pumped. and what does it have to do with the gears, because even though the prop wasn't turning, the water was still pumping.



    thanks.Can someone eplain to me how the water pump works on an outboard motor?The driveshaft is always turning. A pinion gear at the bottom of the driveshaft spins the forward and reverse gears, which are freewheeling (in opposite directions) on the prop shaft.



    The %26quot;clutch dog%26quot; is splined and/or pinned to the propshaft, and moved forward (to mesh with the forward gear) or aft (to mesh with the reverse gear) by the %26quot;clutch dog cradle%26quot;, which is moved by the up or down motion of the shift rod.



    The backside of the forward %26amp; reverse gears are machined with square corners that mesh with the clutch dog. So, the engine turns the driveshaft, the driveshaft turns the gears, the gears turn the clutchdog, and the dog turns the propshaft.



    Meanwhile, as mentioned, the drive shaft, which is always spinning, is also the water pump shaft.



    The water pump has a neoprene impeller in a chromed housing; a very tight fit -- the vanes have to be bent over to fit. The center of the housing is offset from the shaft, so the compartments where water is drawn in get smaller as they rotate toward the discharge, which provides enough water pressure to force water through the engine even at idle speed.



    The impeller is fit so tightly into the housing, that it will generate enough heat to melt and break up without a source of water -- it only takes about 30 seconds of dry running to seriously damage the impeller.



    to fix the gears, you have to use a gear puller to pull the propshaft bearing carrier. The reverse gear will fall out. Reach in with a long box-end wrench to remove the pinion gear from the driveshaft, and pull the driveshaft bearing housing out with the driveshaft. When you remove the shift rod, the prop shaft, forward gear, clutch dog etc should be accessible.



    There's a lot of complicated steps to accomplish each of the above, and some critical measurements with near-zero tolerance.



    Don't do it without a factory service manual in hand.Can someone eplain to me how the water pump works on an outboard motor?The drive shaft turns with the engine and turns the impeller which picks up water and pushes it into the power head and exhaust%26gt; There is a pick up in the foot%26gt;Can someone eplain to me how the water pump works on an outboard motor?What make?model etc. that is the first step,then contact maker for
