Sprinkler Irrigation System Pump Selection

Welcome to our article where we will make sprinkler irrigation system pump selection. Sprinkling is taking water from the source and bringing it to the place where irrigation will be done with pipes and then spraying it into the air in the form of fine particles through sprinklers.

What are the elements in a sprinkler irrigation system?

1. Water source: The place where the water will be taken from.

2. Water pump: It is responsible for taking water from the source and delivering it to the irrigation site. There are different types of pumps according to the water source;

2.1: Centrifugal pumps are used if the water is from a natural stream or on the surface close to the pumping system, such as a pond.

2.2: If the water is underground, submersible pump systems are used if it is to be taken through a well.

Pipelines: After leaving the pump, water is transported to the irrigation site through pipelines.3. Pipelines: After leaving the pump, water is transported to the irrigation site through pipelines.

Sprinklers: After the water enters the pipes, it is sprayed into the air with sprinklers purchased according to the need.4. Sprinklers: After the water enters the pipes, it is sprayed into the air with sprinklers purchased according to the need.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Sprinkler Irrigation System Pump;

The pump type is selected according to the water source ;

Sprinkler irrigation system pump selection is made according to the size of the sprinklersand the need for operation,

• What is the water flow rate consumed by the fountains per hour?
  • Appropriate pump selection is made according to the water flow rate
• What is the working pressure of the sprinklers?
  • The pump is selected according to the desired water pressure.
• How many spray nozzles are there in the system?
  • Total need is calculated according to the number of fountains.

How many inches in diameter are the pipes?

• The pipeline should be made according to the water flow rate and pressure.
• Is there an elevation difference in the pipeline?
• Since the slopes in the line will slow down the water flow, the pump is selected according to the slope.
• How many elbows are there in the pipes?
• Pump selection is made according to the elements that will create pressure loss in the pipeline.
