Motor pumps cannot be used in those areas where electricity is not accessible such as remote rural areas in many African countries. Hydraulic ram pump is one of the solutions for supplying water for irrigation or domestic uses. The hydraulic ram pumps are working based on the water hammer effect for pumping without external power or electricity. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of air chamber volume and operation parameters on the performance of the hydraulic ram pump which was assembled with common plumbing parts. The experimental results showed the volume of the air chamber did not affect the performance such as discharge rate and head. When drive heights were 1.7 and 2.35 m, the maximum discharge heads were up to 7 m and 10 m, respectively. When the air chamber volume was 1 L, discharge rates were 0.23 and 2.12 L/min under the drive heights of 1.7 and 2.35 m, respectively. The average energy efficiency of the hydraulic ram pump assembled in this study was about 60% for all the experimental conditions.

In order to understand the underwater noise source factor of the linear pump type forced ejection system, a reduced-model compressed water experiment device was developed. The reduced-model compressed water experiment device consists of a reverberation tank, a linear pump type forced ejection device, and an underwater vehicle. The underwater noise source was selected from the hydraulic ram moving speed, the hydraulic ram/piston pipe spacing, the ejection pipe inlet/water ram area ratio, and the number of water ram inlets. The underwater vehicle was ejected into the reverberation tank by the device. The source level was derived from the measured sound pressure. The source level tends to increase as the hydraulic ram/piston tube spacing and the hydraulic ram moving speed increase. The source level tended to increase as the area ratio was increased, but the level was weak. The number of water ram inlet did not affect the source level.

본 연구는 수격펌프를 이용하여 용수 공급의 가능성과 효율성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구지역은 경상북도 상주시 화남면 임곡리로 과거 석탄개발에 사용된 갱도로부터 지속적으로 지하수 유출이 발생하고 있다. 유출되는 지하수는 일평균 약 $260m^3/day$의 수량을 가지는 것으로 파악되었다. 수격펌프는 수격현상을 이용하여 전력없이 공급원으로부터 고도차(압력)에 의해 물의 일부를 높은 곳으로 이송시키는 펌프이다. 수격펌프의 효율성을 파악하기 위해 수격펌프와의 고도차에 따라 3지점(${\Delta}h=19m$ (1지점), 30 m (2지점), 40 m (3지점))에서 유량을 측정하였다. 1지점에서는 약 $8.6{\sim}10.8m^3/day$, 2지점은 약 $3.98{\sim}4.39m^3/day$ 그리고 3지점에서는 약 $2.35{\sim}2.59m^3/day$의 물을 운반할 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 이번 연구를 통해 수격펌프가 산간지역 등에서 전력없이 물공급 시스템에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 파악되었다.
